Nope - we tried this, but the date_format only appears to apply in the formatting of
found results, and is not used by htnotify. Shame really, since here in Australia we
have no idea what 1/30/2000 means - is it only the US that uses mmddyyyy formatting?
;-)
Gilles, in a later posting, implies that it can be configured, with an iso_8601
option, but we have yet to make this work. I'd like to know more (Gilles? Would you
care to expand on this comment?).

htnotify has the potential to do many things that would make my website management
tasks enjoyable and error-free - but it is, in essence, a different beast to the main
tools employed in htdig operations.
I'd be happier with htdig developers focussing on making the searches accurate,
configurable, and fast - though of course it would be *really* nice if other file
management tools (htnotify, et al) were able to be incorporated in the overall
package. I only wish that I had the resources to pitch in and help make htdig the
ultimate website swiss-army knife...
