Thanks for the comments. The panel runs as I require in 24 hr with locale set to GB - everything else runs in 24 hr including my other mail programme - Thunderbird, it is only the listing in evolution's mail box that has the difference. Showing the individual mail in is own window also shows a 24 hr time.
As I said earlier I am new to Ubuntu so please excuse me if I put my foot in it! Following Dean's advise above I did a search for .bashrc and found 4 of them; 2 dot.bashrc and 2 bash.bashrc Three of them are dated Oct 2007 and one of the bash.baschrc is dated April 2008 (with 24 hour CEST time!!!!) The only one with relevant contents is one of the dot.bashrc files which is dated last year and does not reflect what my system is doing. I paste a bit of it here:
# Written by John Zaitseff and released into the public domain.
# Variable settings for your convenience
export LANG=en_AU.UTF-8 # We are in Australia
export LC_ALL=en_AU.UTF-8
export TIME_STYLE=$'+%b %e %Y\n%b %e %H:%M' # As used by ls(1)
I changed the time in the last month in the logon options and I would expect the file to show a change date to match.
Dean, do you mean I should paste the export line you gave below the piece I pasted above?
