That comment prompted me to look at the date/time of the message refered 
to. It is the US format MM/DD/YY. So I checked the date format set in 
KDE by right clicking the time panel bottom left hand corner, it is set 
to DD/MM/YY.

I am running Mandrake 9.2 and Mozilla Mail 1.4. I looked but could not 
find any setting in Mozilla on how to set the date display.

Is there such a setting in Mozilla Mail? If not then why is it ignoring 
the system settings.

I know the major market is the US and alot of software makes the 
assumption of US date format but I would have thought the Mozilla team 
would not make the same mistake.
