How can I add year to mail reply attribution

Question

Pre-Lion one could modify  /System/Library/Frameworks/Message.framework/Versions/\
B/Resources/English.lproj/Delayed.strings .
However it is now binary under Lion.
'year' is vital, especially in a business environment.

Tx for the quick reply.
I am able to edit using nano.
I didn't go into the gory details in case there was an easy answer (8-)#
The previous instruction, for the ASCII file, was on
http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20050505001300161
based on:
"REPLY_ATTRIBUTION" = "On %1$@, at %2$@, %3$@ wrote:nn";
"REPLY_ATTRIBUTION" is near the top of the file within a section of other commands.
I have a later section with:
Kerberos Version 4_^P^_On %1$@, at %2$@, %3$@ wrote:
... and two newlines after 'wrote:' followed by:
_^P1
Looking at other entries, I suspect "^P^_" is the start marker and the second "_" is the end marker.
My attribution currently is:
"On Jan 31, at 18:06 | Jan31, Apple Support Communities Updates wrote:" followed by two newlines.
Presumably %1$@ == "Jan 31"
                     %2$@ == "18:06: | Jan 31"
                     %3$@ == "Apple Support Communities Updates"
Any suggestions on what  to modify this to? 
Surely there must be some non-hacking way, especially as the attribution is so broken?
Without 'year' it makes no sense at all.
