HELP! This is driving me CRAZY!

I posted about this before, but didn't get a response, so I thought I would try it again. The problem is occurring in Apple Mail 3.0 (Leopard).

I've noticed that when replying to an email sent that same day, the beginning of the quoted text reads "On 9:00 PM, at 9:00 PM..." if I were to write it at 9:00 PM. If I reply to an email older than a day, it correctly has "On February 3rd, at 9:00 PM..."

I can't say for sure how long this has been going on, but it's driving me crazy. By no means is it a major issue, it's just a small detail that's really bugging me. Perhaps it's a Leopard thing, but I was hoping someone else out there has an idea of how to solve it.

Thanks.

Are you running 10.5.1? I've only been using Leopard for a week and haven't noticed this problem myself.

Very strange. I don't have any advice for you.
Mine is perfect, shows the date correctly.

Yes, I'm running 10.5.1.

It definitely is bizarre.

I figured it out. For some reason, the selected region was "Custom" under System Preferences > International. on my computer. I changed it to "United States" and that did the trick.
