Description Matthew Barnes 2007-04-28 03:08:44 UTC
Forwarding this from a downstream bug report:
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=236399


Hitting reply results in the attribution string having the month and day
reversed.  Example:

Fri, 09 Mar 2007

=> "On Fri, 2007-09-03 ..."

That should read "On Fri, 2007-03-09 ..."

I'm running under en_CA.  See the screenshot.

The attribution string is localized, whereas I believe the Date field in the
original message is displayed as is.

That is *definitely* a bug.  Can we fix it in our packages until Adam W. (I
assume he still does the translations) gets a chance to fix upstream?  A simple
reversal of the ${Day} and ${Month} in msgstr would be perfect, I think.  Thanks.

I don't have access to a machine I can SVN from at the moment. Please feel free to make it Year-Month-Day.

For the record, I'd still prefer to have Day-Month-Year though.
Comment 2 Adam Weinberger 2007-04-28 12:53:33 UTC
Oops. Didn't mean to close the bug there.
Comment 3 Matthew Barnes 2007-04-28 15:28:31 UTC
Fixed in Subversion trunk (revision 33465).

YYYY-MM-DD is a common standard, no?
