asterisk users - Jan 2009 - German date format in voicemail emails

Hi!

I want to configure voicemail to send emails with the date of the 
message in German/Austria, that means:

"Montag, 26 J?nner 2009" instead of "Monday, 26 January
2009"

voicemail.conf refers to "man strftime". This refers to the current
locales.

So, I tried
   export LANG=de
   export LC_ALL=de_DE
before starting Asterisk. Unfortunately the date format is still in English.

Any hints how to achieve the German language date format?

thanks
klaus

Do you have these locales installed?
And what's the default locale on your system?

Debian:
aptitude install locales
dpkg-reconfigure locales
(Locales to be generated: check the ones you want to install)
(Default locale for the system environment: e.g. de_DE.UTF-8)

However I'm not sure if that helps. Maybe Asterisk always uses
the C locale to expand emaildateformat.

Minivoicemail actually has
  - multiple e-mail formats
  - locale support so you get the date in local language and format.

This has not been backported to the old voicemail application. If you  
only need
voicemail to e-mail, then use minivoicemail instead.
