#185870 — How to change date and time format for quoting in Thunderbird?

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

When replying to a message in Thunderbird as packaged in Debian 9, the
date and time is automatically placed before the quote, like this: “On
22/08/17 17:31, $NAME wrote:”. How can I change the format used for the
date and time? In addition, I want to change the format of $NAME to
include his e-mail address a well.

Thanks.

Sorry, i don't know Thunderbird. By the way, recently i did change them
on Gnus (News/Email client of Emacs).

Sincerely, Byung-Hee.

Thanks you.

I see you are using the “Message-id” field. This is not at all useful
for humans.

I do not use Gnus currently, because I do not have time to read tens of
pages of manual to configure it properly. I use GNU Emacs. Maybe in the
future I will configure an e-mail client in GNU Emacs.

However, right now Thunderbird is what I use.

http://kb.mozillazine.org/Date_display_format shows how to configure the
date and time format for Thunderbird, though this also affects the
date/time that are displayed in the folder table-of-contents pane.  On
Linux, it looks like your options are limited.  I ended up using a
wrapper script for Thunderbird that does

  LC_TIME=en_DK.utf8 thunderbird

so that I get ISO-format dates.
