   I've noticed that dates used in the view_entry.php, and in the emails when I used the template variable {date_created, are in the Japanese format i.e. year first.

   How can I change this globally so that all date formats in my admin screen and in emails generated are in the UK format, i.e. DD/MM/YYYY

   Also, in the emails screen I wanted to add the date to the email notifications so I entered the template variable in the 'content' box as follows:

   {entry_data}
   {date_created}

   But, the entry data is nicely formatted in columns with zebra striping but the date isn't formatted in the same way. Again, how can I make it so it's formatted in the same way as the entry data?

   You can edit "helper-functions.php" file to change "date_created" format. Go to line 307 and you'll see this code :

   $template_values[$i]	= $date_created;

   then change the code with this

   $template_values[$i]	= date("d/m/Y",strtotime($date_created));

   And to give a style into "date_created" field, the easiest way is define the style in mail "content" box it self. For example like this :

   {entry_data}
   <div style="border-bottom:1px solid #DEDEDE;padding:5px 10px;background-color:#F3F7FB;margin-top:-10px"> {date_created}</div>
