====== 2016-10-23 - dates in thunderbird ======

i was constantly annoyed about date display format in [[wp>Mozilla_Thunderbird|thunderbird]]. since i use EN/US system settings, i got "month/day/year" display and no reasonable alternative. some time ago i giv ea try to PL language settings -- got "day/month/year". a bit better, but still...

dunno why ppl still use silly formats. there is a nice, clear and readable form defined by ISO: //YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS+TZ//. that's it. it gets sorted nicely, look natural and is standard.

fortunately there's a nice plugin for thunderbird, that [[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/super-date-format|solves date display issues]] once and for all. it simply allows you to type in the format you like. and so: //%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S// and we're good. i wonder why it is not a build-in option for thunderbird, any way.
