Subject: Gnus in Emacs 25 changes language for format-time-string
Date: Thu, 29 Sep 2016 13:35:58 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <m1lgybrl9d.fsf@nobis-it.eu> (raw)

Hi.

Recently I switched from Emacs 24 to Emacs 25.1 with Gnus v5.13
(running on a german MacOS 10.11.6; compiled via Homebrew). I found a
strange change in behaviour that seems to be caused by Gnus.

Before the update the call (format-time-string "%a") gives me english
abbreviated day names - as I set my Emacs environment to english
(terminal LANG is en_US.UTF-8 and my Emacs init.el contains the call
(set-language-environment "English")).

After the update to Emacs 25, I still get the english day names
straight after starting Emacs (either with full config or with "emacs
-Q").

But as soon as I start Gnus (even with a massively stripped down
config), I suddenly get german day names (like "Do" for thursday
instead of the expected "Thu").

Has anyone an idea what causes this strange behaviour and how to
change it?

Until the next mail...,
Stefan.
