Package: thunderbird
Version: 1:68.7.0-1~deb10u1
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n upstream

Hi Carsten,

after upgrading thunderbird from 52.9.1-1~deb9u1 to
68.7.0-1~deb10u1, the date format broke, both in the list view
and in the first line of a reply ("On 2020-04-21, sb. wrote:").
Format used to be ISO-8601 yyyy-mm-dd and now it is dd/mm/yyyy.
I played with the locales, esp. LC_TIME, but without success.

Note, that under Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced, below
"Date and Time Formatting", I can choose between
English (United States) and English (Denmark). However, the
latter is already selected. Btw. I have no idea where the first
one comes from, because I did not configure en_US*.

If this is really a bug, I would also be happy about any hack or
workaround, at least for the replies.

Many thanks for your awesome work on thunderbird packaging!
