Sorry, you misunderstood me, this time string, inserts the time string,
when I execute the capture, but I want to extract the time string, when
the message was received. This is why I used 
%:date
in my first attempt, that works but inserts 
Tue, 2 Mar 2021 19:35:03 +0100  

Which I find way too long.

Just 
Tue, 2 Mar 2021 

Would be fine or 02.03.2021

But not the hour, seconds etc
