I have've created my own locale, which I use for the whole system.
The time/date settings are the following:
LC_TIME
abday                  
"<U0053><U0075><U006E>";"<U004D><U006F><U006E>";"<U0054><U0075><U0065>";"<U0057><U0065><U0064>";"<U0054><U0068><U0075>";"<U0046><U0072><U0069>";"<U0053><U0061><U0074>"

END LC_TIME

When I start Thunderbird everything works fine and TB uses the date/time format
strings from the locale (and I get for example something like 2005-07-17
12:26:43). But after a while the date/time settings from en_US are used and I
see something like 07/17/2005 12:26 AM.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Unfortunately I don't know which exact action leads to the locale "switch".
Actual Results:  
Time and date locale settings (and perhaps other locale settings, too) are not
used correctly.

Expected Results:  
Use the locale settings from the system (i. e. the LANG, LC_ALL, etc.
environment variables) not only some time after TB was started.

Comment 1

[Christoph Anton Mitterer]

I've found out how to reproduce the bug, but I'm not sure if it's a bug in
Thunderbird.

The Date/Time settings chance the firs time when I decrypt a message using Enigmail.

Comment 2

[Wayne Mery (:wsmwk)]

reporter: "no longer use thunderbird, so I cannot tell you" if this is gone.

problem might be gone, might be in enigmail, or might not even require enigmail - I'm not finding *any* date bugs that mention enigmail...perhaps this should be closed incomplete since reporter wont be able to verify

No additional useful information since last comment -> resolving incomplete.

Please comment if the issue still occurs in the latest supported 2.0.0.14 / trunk nightlies.
