[Bug 575116] Re: thunderbird does not run scripts in ~/.thunderbird/init.d/

[Yuri Ingultsov]

I have a few  things to say ...

1).Formal.  The ability to read scripts from  ~/.thunderbird/init.d/  is
documented in mozilla kb here
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Date_display_format  and probably should work
just to do not confuse users who are seeking ability to change date&time
format in Thunderbird  views

2). Usability. After  removal of  this feature you are require from me
to change settings of  my system/user account locale (which is already
fine configured)  and then think and wait which side effect it can
cause... instead of changing locale just for Thunderbird

3). Usability. (The above but in other words... which is happened with
me) I installed Thunderrbird, all jsut fine except the the date & time
formats. I went to  mozilla kb and found a way how to fix it. But it
doesn't work what should I do then? Spend a  hours googling for a
solution? Send a time looking over system files trying to troubleshoot
this situation and possible fix it (I'm not even talking about this
require some knowledges)...? Change my locale settings with possible
side effects later and  unpredictable results that Thunderbird will
accept new settings?   Uninstall TB and use something more suitable?

Sadly
