I am trying to get Thunderbird to correctly display the date format in
my locale: EN_AU
Does anyone have any tips?
Thanks

All sorted using the global setting /etc/env.d/02locale. This file was
not already on my system so I made it with nano. I then placed the
following details into the file:
LANG="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="C"
For those who have the same issue, you can follow the procedures:

Setting LANG in /etc/env.d/02locale works for me.

Is this the "Gentoo" way of setting this? I've always used .bashrc to
set up LANG and LC_ALL.
To the OP: I'm using Thunderbird and I didn't have to configure anything
special to get the AU date format. Just emerged it. But I had already
set LANG and LC_ALL when I built my system. Also, I use FVWM as my WM,
so I have no localization settings via KDE or Gnome or such; that may
affect things for you?

Yes, of course it is.

The only difference there is that .bashrc is per-user whereas
/etc/env.d/02locale
is global. On most systems, setting globally probably makes more sense.
Be lucky,

This is an adaptation of the conventional way for setting these things system-
wide.
Editing various files in ~ is the conventional way for setting these things
specific to your user account.
