I think feature requests for T-bird should be filed upstream. reportbug
is (mostly) for reporting problems in the Debian Bugtracking System
(BTS), specific to the debian package.

I may try filing upstream, but reportbug is such a good bug-tracker
compared with most other bug tracking systems. KDE's bug tracker seems
to hide too much information by default.
Thanks also to the person who emailed me and suggested:

to set the date format that you want, you need to use the en-DK locale
to define your LC_TIME environment variable.
The following links were informative for me.
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Date_display_format
http://myy.helia.fi/~karte/international_iso-8601_date_on_thunderbird.html
I ended up putting a script in /usr/local/bin for thunderbird with:
#!/bin/sh
#
# ISO 8601 Date extension to Mozilla Thunderbird
# must have the locale generated via
# dpkg-reconfigure locales
#
export LC_TIME=en_DK.utf8
/usr/bin/thunderbird
If you are missing the locale, you'll need to generate using:
dpkg-reconfigure locales
as root.

Don't forget a couple of other "obvious" things:
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/thunderbird
If running KDE, edit the K menu entry for Thunderbird to use the path
/usr/local/bin/thunderbird

Arthur.
