This is really mad. If I want to have 24 hour time format I would for
other appliactions (like emacs VM) choose this by the settings. This is
not the case for Evolution. If I start Evolution from the Applications
menu I would never dream of having to set the LC_TIME from a terminal to
get a decent time format...
