In the available tokens, is SMARTDATETIMEISO24 , but, it does not 
display the date in the ISO format.

Would it be possible, for the next release of alpine, to add a token 
that displays the date in the ISO format, and, for all messages, the 
time, in 24 hour format format; for example, DATEISOTIME24, or, 
DATETIMEISO24 ?

One advantage of this, would be that, when a daily, or, otherwise 
event-driven, no more than once daily, message is sent, it would mean 
that monitoring the time of day that the message gets sent, when it gets 
sent - for example, my Post Office Box has the facility where I get 
notified by email, when mail is available for collection from the Post 
Office Box, and, having time display, for all days, would enable 
monitoring, by viewing the folder message index, of the time of day, 
that the message has a history of being sent.

That, in conjunction with the message dates displayed in the index, in 
ISO format,would be useful.

Thank you in anticipation.
