Hello Martin!

In retrospect, I thought that the use of DD.MM and MM/YY (for  
older than 12 months) was very clever.  It's really not unlike  
what I see what some email programs try to do to help sort  
messages in a larger visual way.  Besides, we (OXP users) also  
have the option to use the wonderful S)earch features to  
identify messages within a date range.

If there were a change in the DD.MM vs MM/YY, I would rather  
have the option to retain that presentation as a config setting  
instead of replacing it with something to "fix" it.
