I do have the en_GB locale on my system, and it does specify dates in the
format DD/MM/YY, but if you look at the demo site with GB english it also
shows the dates the wrong way around.  I've tried French on the demo site
(demo.horde.org I mean), and Spanish on the demo site with two different
IMAP servers one in the US, one in the UK and IMP always shows the date in
the format MM/DD/YY which to anyone outside the USA is aware is pretty
meaningless.

Have I done something wrong?  I've tried with both IE and with Mozilla (1.0
RC1) just in case it was something with the browser but get the same result.
Am I right in thinking that selecting a different language either from the
login page, or from the options will automatically change the date format
without any other setting being involved?

TIA,
Henry
