Sorry that this does not do what you need. I did not see anything about
what you are describing. There is a Thunderbird list, like this one, and a
TBird forum. You might ask there. If it can not be done you could put a
RFE in the Mozilla Bugzilla asking for this.
I got in late, but how about running thunderbird in a different locale:
LC_TIME=nl_NL.utf8; export LC_TIME; thunderbird
Put this in a script (not called thunderbird, or else use
/usr/bin/thunderbird in your script), and off you go.
You can use different locales than nl_NL (the first time I saw this
trick it used Denmark).
