I want to add my support for comment #9. Typically, I don't know what date it is today, offhand. I don't really care in fact. I just want to know (for recent e-mails anyway) the relative day offset. That is, I want to easily see which e-mails arrived yesterday and which e-mails arrived Monday of this week, etc.
Of course, beyond the current week, dates should fall back to fully specified. Is that enough to change this bug from WONTFIX to something that will get fixed or should I add a new bug? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/312483 Title: Thunderbird's date format not changed easely -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
