As for the weather in Seattle, I can relate to that. It rains a lot here too. That's good for the flowers that we export. ;) Joe - -- Joe Thanks for the reminder, and for archives sake. I had the same problem and AFAICR it was *not* the icedove-locale package that made it work. Google suggested putting #Locale LC_TIME=en_GB.ISO-8859-15 export LC_TIME in ~.bash_profile and it was this that made the time display correctly. Of course this works across all user apps, which is what I wanted, so YMMV. HTH Wackojacko -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
