Date formatting in e-mail notifications

[Claudia]

We have noticed that the text in email notifications alerting for new
task assignment, is set to US that is MM/DD/YYYY, is there a way to
have this set to DD/MM/YYYY?

Thanks

Have you tried changing the date format on the server? Otherwise, I think
this would be in the code of the notifications engine and would require
modification at the code level.

We have got the same problem. Change of the date format on
the server didn't work. Any other ideas?

David,
It looks like a part of notification engine or some
sort. I tried to see dates in database they are in our
local format DD/MM/YYYY so it's ok. But when a
notification is sent I get MM/DD/YY, it give me a big pain
in the @#$. After mining MSP_WEB_CONVERSIONS I have found
the following strings:
-- cut'n'paste start --
\nProject: ^1\nAssign to: ^2\n-----------------------------
-----------------------------------------@@[\nTask Name: ]
TASK_NAME<21>{30}[\n],[Start: ]ASSN_START_DATE<4>{12},
[Finish: ]ASSN_FINISH_DATE<4>{12},[Work: ]ASSN_WORK<8>{8},
[Rem Work: ]ASSN_REM_WORK<8>{8}

-- cut'n'paste end --

Here what I did just to check if I'm on the right route
I replaced ASSN_START_DATE<4>{12} with ASSN_START_DATE and
my notifications have stoped at all. so it looks like this
string ASSN_START_DATE<4>{12} is really controls
everything &&#^%^%@# Any IDEAS????
