Hello,

There are several datetime formats, that the DotNet framwork supports.
The timeformat mentioned in the header, is produced by outlook and other
mailers and in Javascript, but it seems this is not an implemented standard
formatstring (such as "r").

Can somebody shed a light on this?

It is an RFC 822 format.

After some research I found this is simply not implemented but it can be
achieved by a custom format string.

Oh ok.. yes. It's not a standard DateTime format but a custom one.
