For e- > mails that is, not the calendar. you won't find it, because it isn't an evolution, but a gnome wide setting (to provide consistency). the format uses your locale setting, particular the LC_TIME value. as far as i know, you can change your setting either for your entire desktop or for an application explicitly. if you do not want to change your desktop setting, start evolution by a wrapper script: create a script (don't forget the executable flag) and place it in your path before the evolution binary is found or call it directly (following example uses "en_GB.UTF-8" as locale). --- snip --- #!/bin/sh export LC_TIME=en_GB.UTF-8 /usr/bin/evolution & --- snip --- so at least you will get the 24h clock by choosing en_GB as locale, but i don't know if a locale exists that provides YYYY-MM-DD encoding of the date format, sorry. :-/ cheers, andre -- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | failed! http://www.iomc.de
