Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mozilla-thunderbird

I'm seeing this issue only on Ubuntu, it does not happen on Fedora 6, 7
so I filed this against Ubuntu not Mozilla site.

1. Using Japanese desktop environment.
2. Start Thunderbird and set up the user account
3. Change the preference to

   user_pref("mailnews.reply_header_type", 2);

the default is 1.

4. Try to reply to someone
The reply header is correct, no garbled characters. The date format is Japanese 
and contains Japanese characters.

5. But it's not good when I send email to English folks, so I want to
change the date format to English. So set the following,

6. Try to reply. Unfortunately the date format can not be changed, it's
still including Japanese characters. Bad thing is that these characters
are garbled, like
