The dates in the "My Reviews" RSS feed are do not appear in a consistent format. The month and day parts of the date are swapped when the day is 1-12.
This does not occur in other feeds such as "All Reviews". Microsoft Outlook is being used to read the RSS feeds.

It's not possible for me to attach a screenshot I'm afraid.

I have had a closer look at the RSS XML and found that there is a difference in the format of the pubDate tag.

In the "All Reviews" feed it looks like this: <pubDate>Wed Feb 06 14:20:20 GMT 2008</pubDate>
In the "My Reviews" feed it looks like this: <pubDate>2/4/08 3:59 PM</pubDate>

The first example is explicit about month and day so it is handled correctly.
The second example is ambiguous and Outlook thinks it mm/dd/yy which is wrong.
All the feeds I have looked at except "My Reviews" follow the first example and work correctly.

Here all dates have the exact same value
<pubDate>Mon Feb 25 16:05:55 CET 2008</pubDate>
All items are created at tdifferent times, but pubdate is identical for all items, and the time is always DateTime.Now
