Very few FAX machines allow for languages other than English in the 
header, so I never bothered to allow for it. Are you sure it is OK to 
just drop the date? I know Germany has some legal requirements for the 
header, especially when the FAX is computer generated.

These modifications require changes to spandsp (which constructs the 
headers) as well as to mod_spandsp (which would need to tell spandsp 
what the header should be like. They aren't complex changes, though.
