formatting

I'm creating an email using String Template but when I print out a date, it prints out the full date (eg. Wed Apr 28 10:51:37 BST 2010). I'd like to print it out in the format dd/mm/yyyy but don't know how to format this in the .st file.

I can't modify the date individually (using java's simpleDateFormatter) because I iterate over a collection of objects with dates.

Is there a way to format the date in the .st email template?
