Hi Dotan:

What you have is the US default date format and what you want is the European 
date format.

I use Kmail under KDE 3.4.2 and it has a setup setting for date display 
format.  Never used T'bird so don't know what it has.  Does it have a setting 
in the setup dialog box for appearance?  That's where it is in Kmail.

Sorry I can't help more.

Tom
