Hi Richard,
thanks for pointing me at the variable org-agenda-format-date. There
was a line in my dotemacs that included a formatting without the
weekday (something like %y-%w-%d). I could not figure out how the
name-of-the-weekday format would be called. But for now I'm fine with
returning to the default which gives me an English date including the
weekday.
Cheers, J
