Thanks Ed

As you can see from this mail, I have successfully used the links that
you provided.

But I still have one problem. I want thunderbird to use the date format
that I have configured in KDE (SHORTWEEKDAY-DD-SHORTMONTH-YY). My dates
show up as Tue-06-Jun-06. Basically I get confused between date & month
so I at lest like to keep one of them in words.

This time I did a bit of searching & found this site.

kb.mozillazine.org/Date_display_format

My first question is why did all the pages that I came across, referred
to this (user.js) file? I did not find any such file, but I did  find
something called "prefs.js" /in/my/home/.thunderbird which seems to have
same function.

So I added a line to the file (prefs.js) as per the instruction on
the page

user_pref("mail.ui.display.dateformat.default", 1);

it was supposed to show me time like this

Friday, December 31 2003 10:23 AM

but unfortunately it had no effect!! the date format remained as it was
before.

So what am I possibly doing wrong??
