Why don't you want to set LC_TIME, if it does what you need? You do
know, you can set it for a single application (Evolution) rather than
setting it globally, right?

LC_TIME=en_GB

Like I already mentioned in this thread. For more details please see an
earlier post by me:

  http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/evolution/2004-April/036582.html

This will give the date in English and uses 24 hour format, rather than
AM/PM. So this is the solution to your last questions, no? However, this
is not the answer to your previous (see above) question...


This whole threads gets a bit confusing... ;)
