I have posted this on the Mozilla support forum, but so far what comes back is "no such setting". Hoping someone here has an answer.

Running windows xp, thunderbird v2.0.0.12.
The date/time stamp as Displayed in the list of emails and Displayed in the email header are 'normalized' to match the date/time on my computer. If I Print an email, the Printed date/time is not 'normalized' - it seems to represent the sender's mail-server time with a notation for time-offset.

I need the Printed date/time to be 'normalized' to my local-time, to match the Displayed date/time.

This is important for time-stamping merchandise orders & payments, not to mention just dealing with emails in general. Besides, nobody I know in the 'real world' is actually willing (or capable) of deciphering origination date/time stamps just to figure out how when an email was written - especially since it's the server-time and not necessarily the sender's time.

Does anyone know if, and where, there might be a config or user.prefs setting(s) in Thunderbird to control this?

Well, I can now answer my own question... am extremely pleased, works perfectly, my kudos! :bow:

Paolo added this little feature to his PrintingTools extension...

0.2.3 version, released now, localizes date in printing, using a similar format to the one used in main window (for ex. 03/25/2007 2:08 PM).
Try it.
