The dates in messages must be in RFC-822 format, don't be silly.
However, it would be useful for gnus to be able to display the dates in
whatever localized date format the user asked for. I'm not sure if there's a
global handling of localization features or date formatting code yet, if not i
would urge anyone interested in seeing dates in non-american formats to look
at gnus-art.el and timezone.el and write a small package for formatting dates
according to local conventions.

You must have missed the last twenty years of computer history, ask someone
what the terms "little-endian" and "big-endian" mean. Then ask what byte-order
PDP11 used.
