Date field in fax emails has wrong format (not RFC compliant)

Description

Emails which contain faxes have an invalid date in the headers. As a result, the emails show at the bottom of the listing in some email clients.

The bug is in the file: /var/www/html/admin/modules/core/bin/fax-process.pl

Line 135: my $dtime = date;

The date command doesn't always (or by default) return an RFC valid date for use in emails.

Fix: Simple append the -R parameter which tells 'date' to print dates in RFC 2822 format, a valid format for emails.

my $dtime = date -R;
