How and where to set "Date" or "Time" as publishing date

Hi,

I use postie a lot and thanks for that great tool.
I use category excerpt and so on but I found the parameter “date” to set the published date in future.
My questions are:

1. where to set (e.g. before :start or after :end)
2. how to set (which format for e.g. germany)
3. is it possible to define a time also?

My posts-codes are structured (in VBA) like:

itext = ":start" & artikel_ALL _
                       & "<br />" _
                       & permalink_sls_all _
                       & "tags: " & tags & "<br />" _
                       & ":excerptstart " & excerpt_sls & ":excerptend <br />" _
                       & ":end " _
                       & "date: " & Now _
                       & " [custom name=""Keywords"" value=""Test""]"
               Print #iFile, itext

I put date after :end with a variable named “Now”. The output of “Now” is: 28.07.2015 21:52:48
Thanks a lot in advance
