It is very difficult to get the headers of one's emails to give ISO 8601.
Outlook Express always seems to use MMM-DD-YY and am/pm, irrespective of
one's regional settings. This is the reason why John gets all these e-mails
with MM-DD-YYYY and am/pm formats from abroad. I have two PC's. One has
Windows 98, the new one that I use for the Internet has Windows XP. Both
were set to the Dutch language and metric, YYYY-MM-DD and 24 hour format in
the regional settings. Yet my e-mails produced American date and time; John
had informed of this. What did I do? Really weird. To start, I set my new
computer to USA English. Then I changed within that format all the relevant
settings: system of units, date, time, decimal marker and currency unit. And
it worked! Outlook Express, always going to USA settings, accepted my
modified ones. Now my e-mail headers show the YYYY-MM-DD and 24 hour
settings at last.

That's what I did with (full featured) Outlook at work, and it works perfectly. Simply change USA-English to what it should be (on the computer and in real life!) and you get exactly what you need.
I get cm on Word, but I still can't change the default tabs (for all documents) to be anything other than half an inch. If anyone has ideas please send them along.
