[Freeswitch-users] Modifying fax header

[Peter Steinbach]

Hello Steve,

we were thinking about dropping the date in case we cannot modify it to
a german format. In Germany, as well as in e.g. France, almost all fax
machines (at least the machines produced in this region) support the
local language. So it would be good to have that supported also.

Where is the place to look for? We were looking for some place in the
code, but did not succeed so far. We would then try to modify it
ourselves and make a patch.

Best regards
Peter
