Summary:  GNUstep does not assume an NSLanguage if one is not set in the 
defaults

Original Submission:  This problem, which has existed for at least one year and 
two months, was first addressed by Rene Berber and Robert Burns in  an e-mail 
correspondence on Discuss-GNUstep on April 28, 2003. Adam's e-mail reply, 
stating clearly that this is a bug, followed soon after and can be viewed at 
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/discuss-gnustep/2003-04/msg00441.html

Essentially, the problem I was experiencing was that timestamps in GNUMail were 
not displaying properly. Instead of the time, I see %r. After discussing this 
publically on the GNUstep IRC channel, Ludovic and Rob Burns told me what the 
"solution" was, which was to set NSLanguages to anything (in my case English). 
The bug is that English (or /something/) should be assumed if NSLanguages is 
not set. This affects every single person who uses GNUMail, since the 
probability is extremely high that they have not set their NSLanguages default.
