In general Evo takes its localization info from the locale (i.e. the LC_* environment variables) which are set in the shell before running Evo. Thus for example I have LC_TIME set to en_GB so the date formats look right (:-). However if the preferences setting isn't being obeyed by reminders then it would seem to be a bug, so maybe you should report it to BZ. poc _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
