            Bug ID: 369392
           Summary: Custom date display for message list not applied until
                    restart
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 5.1.3
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: message list
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: psychonaut at nothingisreal.com

In the KMail settings dialog (Settings -> Configure KMail -> Appearance ->
Message List -> Date Display), the user can configure how they want the date to
be formatted in the message list.  There is a radio button group allowing the
user to select among several predefined formats or a custom format.

Selecting any of the predefined formats and pressing the "Apply" button results
in the message list being immediately reformatted with the new date format. 
However, if the user selects a custom format, the "Apply" button has no
immediate effect.  Instead, the user must restart KMail for the changes to take
effect.

Please make the "Apply" button work correctly even if the user selects a custom
date format.  If this is not possible, then pressing "Apply" or "OK" should
throw up a dialog window explaining that changes will take effect only after
KMail is restarted.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Settings -> Configure KMail -> Appearance -> Message List -> Date Display
2. Enter a valid format string in the "Custom format" field.
3. Select the radio button next to the "Custom format" field.
4. Press "Apply".

Actual Results:  
5. Nothing happens.

Expected Results:  
5. The Message List should refresh, with the dates using the new custom format.
