Description Roman Odaisky 2009-05-07 09:13:32 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

KMail seems to use the M/D/YY format for message group headers no matter how KDE is configured. For example, I prefer the European setting of DD.MM.YYYY, KMail does use it in the “Date” column but when collapsing messages into groups it uses M/D/YY. It looks like this:

Subject                Sender     Date
[> 5/7/09]
[v 5/6/09]
- Hi there!            someone    06.05.2009 00:00
  - Re: Hi there!      somebody   06.05.2009 10:10
      Re: Hi there!    someone    06.05.2009 20:20
[> 5/5/09]

while I’d expect KMail to honor locale settings (in my case, MM.DD.YYYY date format) in the headers of message groups as it does in the Date headers.
