How to make Thunderbird list messages with 24 hour time?

Question

For a long time I have been doing:

/etc/locale.conf change: LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
LANG="en_GB.UTF-8"

To make Thunderbird list messages with 24 hour time. Can someone suggest a better way to accomplish this?

Answer 1

add export LC_TIME=C to your .bashrc
Of course you'll need to logout/login for this to take effect globally in your GUI.
