conflicting date format with attribution

[steve]

Hi list,

I have

set date_format=%a %d %b %y
set index_format%4C %c %D %s

which is ok for the index. Now when I reply to a message, I would like
to have the attribution specially set, something like (in French) this:

Le mardi 18 août 2009, John Dow (j...@example.com) a écrit :

So full day name and full month name.

So I tried:

set attribution=Le %d, %n (%a) a écrit :\n

But I then get short names for day and month. I tried other
combinations. Now my question is simple, how can I have one $date_format
for the index view and another *different* one for the attribution?

Thanks in advance,
steve

So set it explicitly, like this:

 set attribution=Le %{%A %d %B %Y}, %n (%a) a écrit :\n

Note the %{} construction.

That's what I was missing.

Thanks it works perfectly.
