I can't think Gnus does do it. But the value of the variable `system-time-locale' gets changed to that of German, doesn't it? If so, though I don't know what causes it, this would help: (setq system-time-locale nil) The value may be "C" or "en_US.UTF-8", etc. instead of nil. If the `system-messages-locale' variable is changed also to what is not your taste, you can set both of them by: (set-locale-environment "C") ;; or "en_US.UTF-8", etc. Regards,
