Title:
  Evolution always shows 12-hour am/pm time in email summary screen

Status in The Evolution Mail & Calendaring Tool:
  Confirmed
Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Setting locale en_GB results in time being displayed in 12-hour with
  AM/PM rather than 24-hour format.

  In the UK, when mentioning times in conversation, the 12-hour clock is
  still used, but AM and PM have amlost disappeared from modern British
  English.  Rather, something like "nine in the morning" or "four in the
  afternoon" would be used.

  In almost all other circumstances, and almost without exception where
  a time is written numerically, the 24-hour clock is used, particularly
  where precision is important.  An unusual exception is that television
  listings in the printed media normally use 12-hour time (without AM/PM
  indicator) but the same publication would use 24-hour time in a
  weather forecast.

  In the en_GB locale, running evolution, appearance of 12-hour time
  with AM/PM indicator is an oddity and seems wrong in the message pane.

  The panel clock can be changed to show 24-hour time, but this is not
  possible in evolution.

  Note that selecting British English in KDE sets 24-hour time by
  default.
