Wow, I never thought through how email client reply-to markers changed like that - thanks! I've updated mine to at least use an ISO8601 style date, at least (since US dates always confuse me). Many email clients probably inherit the time and date format settings from the operating system; Thunderbird certainly does on the Mac, although it only seems to read the settings on program restart. Thunderbird help: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Change_the_Date_Format OSX 10.14 now has this in System Preferences - Language & Region - Advanced... - Dates, or Times.
