At least in Evolution 1.0.3 (on RH7.3), there is no change in time
formats between LC_CTIME="en_US" and LC_CTIME="fi_FI" (I made quick
check on new appointment dialog and message list on mail). Localising as
a concept is nice, but most of the users that I know prefer to keep all
menus, text in dialogs, month names etc. in english (C/en_US), even
though they want their local date and time formats.

Date on actual message display is just fine as it is, but what I would
like to change is dates on Sent column in message list (where you have
Today/Yesterday/Mon/Tue/Wed/.../Sun xx:yy AM/PM).
