Found in my .emacs: #+begin_src emacs-lisp ;; system locale to use for formatting time values (e.g., timestamps in ;; Org mode files) (setq system-time-locale "C") ;; "en_US.utf8" did not work for the weekday in the agenda! #+end_src Now, the question is: why did it change on your machine? New Emacs, new Cygwin (if on Windows)? See discussion http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2011-09/msg00006.html on Cygwin (though I don't know what to understand from it...).
