Date format in Apple Mail

Question

Ladies and Gentlemen:
Is there a way to use international date formats in Apple Mail.app with the AppleStationeryDynamicElement?
Example: < span class="AppleStationeryDynamicElement" contenteditable="true" apple-content-type="date" *apple-date-format="%b %1d, %Y"*>xxxxx<\span >
In my case it always displays the English Format "October 22, 2010" instead of the German format although in the language settings everything seems O.K. .
Thank you very much!
Kind regards

+initWithDateFormat:@"%b %1d %Y" allowNaturalLanguage:NO];+
+initWithDateFormat:@"%1m/%1d/%Y" allowNaturalLanguage:NO]
autorelease];+
As I said, I'm not that knowledgeable, but I can read - it seems to me all the examples given assume the English language (month first), so have you tried:
%1d/%1m/%Y
I am asking because you said:
+I have in my mail template the string "apple-content-type="date" apple-date-format= *"%b %1d, %Y"".*+
From what I just looked at, "b" or "m" is the month, so if that is what you have entered, it'll show "March 2, 2010"; however - at least in Germany - the date is displayed as 2. März 2010 (I know the Viennese have their own way of doing things, but..
The other thing that puzzled me is the fact that it says "allowNaturalLanguage: No" - again, I have no idea, but logic would dictate that yes, of course, you want the natural language which, in this case, would be German. Just a thought on this one.
