The user can set the LC_TIME env?
BTW, afaik there is not even a UI option to select the locale package
you want to use ... so I guess they call this UI-"bloat" and leave
this to some extension package.
... and I am sure that this has been reported upstream more than once
(without taking even a look). So, consider that they just don't want
to make this available as an UI option.

What do you mean by "other gnome programs don't have this problem"?
You mean they honor some gnome setting for date format?
... remember, that icedove is not a gnome program.
