   Hello Martin!

   In retrospect, I thought that the use of DD.MM and MM/YY (for     
   older than 12 months) was very clever.  It's really not unlike     
   what I see what some email programs try to do to help sort     
   messages in a larger visual way.  Besides, we (OXP users) also     
   have the option to use the wonderful S)earch features to     
   identify messages within a date range.   
      
   If there were a change in the DD.MM vs MM/YY, I would rather     
   have the option to retain that presentation as a config setting     
   instead of replacing it with something to "fix" it.
