145310 - Mailclient to show time in 24 hour format

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 100790

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, enhancement)

Description

[Jonas Bygdén]

It would be nice to have the mailclient to show the time in 24 hour format under
all (at least linux and Solaris) OS:es. Right now it only displays time in 12
hour am/pm format (as said at least under linux and Solaris).

Mozilla will use your "locale" - the *nix environment variable for nationalized
settings, to decide which time format to use. The locale setting for date and
time is LC_TIME. So add for instance this to your .bashrc or whatever rc file
that match your default shell:

export LC_TIME="en_GB"

and hours in mail will behave as desired on next startup from a shell where the
variable is set.
