Hi there, Guenther and I have been conversing on the "Users" list about the date format used by Evolution -- and he suggested I ask here to see if anyone knows the answer to my little problem.
I have a Linux system that runs Evolution. It is Red Hat v9 with the supplied Evolution (1.2.2-5). When I go to enter a birthday into contacts, or an event of appointment in the calendar, that version of Evolution expects my entry in UK format (dd/mm/yyyy). I guess it does this because it knows my locale; which is set with "LC_TIME=en_GB.UTF-8" because I said it was a UK machine. However, on my Solaris (Sparc) system it doesn't seem to matter what I do, date entries are always in the wrong format (always US mm/dd/yyyy) whatever locale I set. I had thought that Evolution was the same no matter which OS was being used. Then I wondered if this is a Solaris only matter -- until Guenther revealed that his Mandrake box was always mm/dd/yyyy whatever he did! Does anyone know why Evolution does this and how I can get the dates of my Solaris machine to the correct format?
