Hello

in the attachment you will see that the listing of emails (on the left) is shown using UK date format DD/MM/YY (that's what I want), however, the message content panel shows the date in the US format MM/DD/YY (I definitely do not want this).

Why are 2 different formats being applied in Thunderbird, and how can I get both to be UK DD/MM/YY please.

Many thanks

Lord Elpus

I should have said :

this is Thunderbird 31.6.0 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Image resent due to previous failure.
