is there a possibility that you create a secong date because we in europe don't use the date like you do, we use it like DDMMYYYY, this could cause misunderstandings with our clients. so could you create for virus and junkmail something like i.e. %dateeuro%?
I expect this should get changed shortly. Most likely, "%DATE%" will get converted to the de-facto international standard "DD MMM YYYY" (as in "12 Aug 2004"). Unlike DD/MM/YYYY and MM/DD/YYYY, DD MMM YYYY can be read by anyone anywhere (with the other two, "02/03/2004" could be either February or March; it is impossible to tell).
The true standard date format (YYYYMMDD) is too confusing for the average person to deal with, as it is rarely seen, but may get added as well.
In the next release, %DATE% will indeed be changed to DD MMM YYYY ("12 Aug 2004"), and %USDATE% will have the old U.S.-style date format ("08/12/2004"), %EURDATE% will have the European-style date format ("12/08/2004"), and %ISODATE% will have the standard date format ("2004-08-12").
The reason for changing %DATE% is to ensure that after upgrading, everybody uses an international-friendly date format. If anybody doesn't like that, they do have the option of switching to %USDATE%. And those that want to can use %EURDATE% or %ISODATE%. However, only %DATE% or %ISODATE% should really be used (as both can be read by anybody).
