Weekday in English instead of German

#3448

Hi :)

I've set MmLocaleDateIdentifier to de_DE:

defaults read com.freron.MailMate MmLocaleDateIdentifier de_DE

My ReplyWroteString contains %A, which is replaced by the English name of the day of the week:

defaults read com.freron.MailMate MmReplyWroteString ...Datum: %A, %d. %B %Y %k:%M...

Result: "Datum: Thursday, 11. September 2025 15:26"

Is it possible to display the German name of the day of the week?

Thanks,
Christian

    The MmLocaleDateIdentifier is only for the display of dates. As a quick solution I've added support for this:

    defaults write com.freron.MailMate MmReplyWroteString -string "de_DE"

    This'll work in r6292+. The proper solution would be general support for explicitly telling MailMate the language to be used for the current correspondent (which should then also update the reply string if changed).
