Description Luke Hutchison 2004-09-08 22:27:09 UTC 
When writing a CSV file, dates are written as numbers rather than as dates.

It probably makes the most sense to write to CSV files (or other text export
files) exactly what is displayed in each cell, rather than internal
representations of displayed data.

If you want to export exactly what is displayed in each cell you just have to
check: "Preserves Formats" in the configurable text export.
