Locales are a beautiful thing, but they also cause many many weird issues... but it is ever so annoying to see a numeric date and have to wonder which is months and which is days (for exmaple in Thunderbird), so I configured my locale to be a wonderful mix of nl_NL and en_US... > (Beautiful country, BTW, Marijn.

I couldn't, so I deleted the email. I think to switch the locale you would have to do some more work, like set an environment variable.
