I am using Emacs 24.3 on different machines. With Debian GNU/Linux I get time-stamps like <2015-01-21 Wed>. However, with Windows 7 Pro (which I do not administrate), I get <2015-01-21 Mi> where "Mi" stands for the German "Mittwoch". What do I have to add to my configuration so that I get "Wed" instead of "Mi" on all of my systems, independent of system settings? My naïve debug session resulted in: org-insert-timestamp > format-time-string which is built-in and uses locale settings to resolve "%a" to get the abbreviated name of the day. I don't have a clue which variable holds the locale settings that is used for this case and I also don't have an idea if modifying this variable has some potential negative effects as well. -- mail|git|SVN|photos|postings|SMS|phonecalls|RSS|CSV|XML to Org-mode: > get Memacs from https://github.com/novoid/Memacs < https://github.com/novoid/extract_pdf_annotations_to_orgmode + more on github
