Configuring the date / time display

By default Thunderbird displays the time only for messges less than one day old. This can be changed by modifying the user.js file.

/* Display the full time & date for all mails */
// Values are: 
// 0 = 23:53 
// 1 = Freitag, 31. Dezember 2003 23:53 
// 2 = 31.12.1999 23:53 
// 3 = 1999/12 23:53 
// 4 = Fr 23:53
user_pref("mail.ui.display.dateformat.today", 2);

This example will always display the date and time in numeric format whatever the age of the message.
