[gentoo-user] Thunderbird 2.0.0.23: Incorrect date format.

I am trying to get Thunderbird to correctly display the date format in
my locale: EN_AU

Does anyone have any tips?

Thanks

Setting LANG in /etc/env.d/02locale works for me.


Be lucky,

Is this the Gentoo way of setting this?  I've always used .bashrc to
set up LANG and LC_ALL.

To the OP: I'm using Thunderbird and I didn't have to configure anything
special to get the AU date format.  Just emerged it.  But I had already
set LANG and LC_ALL when I built my system.  Also, I use FVWM as my WM,
so I have no localization settings via KDE or Gnome or such; that may
affect things for you?

Yes, of course it is.

The only difference there is that .bashrc is per-user whereas
/etc/env.d/02locale
is global. On most systems, setting globally probably makes more sense.

This is an adaptation of the conventional way for setting these things system-
wide.

Editing various files in ~ is the conventional way for setting these things 
specific to your user account.
