Folks in different countries use different date formats (m/d/y or d/m/y).

The simple solution to this (which also makes things clearer to customers I think) is to format it at:

MMM/D/YYY: Sep 25, 2012

I played around with the %m (%M %mmm %month) but couldn't find a solution.

   Where do you mean? In the email templates? Which one?

   Yes, email templates, specifically the Billing Reminder ( but I suspect it applies to all the email templates)

   Then you're looking for the Smarty syntax reference for the date format.

   I think you want something like this:

   {$invoice.billingDatetime|date_format:"%b %e, %Y"}
