Package: icedove
Version: 1.5.0.8.dfsg1-1
Severity: wishlist

icedove displays mesage dates in MMDDYY format, which is really jarring
for anyone used to the sane DDMMYY or even saner YYYYMMDD formats - it's
impossible to tell what date is actually being displayed without viewing
enough other dates (with day numbers above 12) to figure out if the
first two digits are indicating Day or Month.

this wouldn't normally warrant a bug report, except that there does
not appear to be any configuration option to set date style. so
icedove/thunderbird users are stuck with the braindamaged US date style.

please fix or send this report upstream.
