I found a fix for this in the template for the feed.

You have to change the line that says:
<pubDate><$EntryDateTime$></pubDate>

to this:
<pubDate><$EntryDateTime format="EEE, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss
z"$></pubDate>

Is there going to be a newer release coming that resolves
this issue and puts postings in using the 'correct' date
format? I'd happily pay a $20 donation for a new version
that solves this problem.

I made another comment in this same section above. The
date published in the RSS file is in European format
(DD/MM/YYYY). RSS Feed parsers will not read this format
correctly.

Thinking this maybe was a bug with the RSS reader I use, I
asked the author. Here's the response I got:

Hi Mike,

It looks like the pubDate is in an invalid format. You have
something like

<pubDate>05/12/04 10:13</pubDate>

But it needs to be something like

<pubDate>Tue, 30 Nov 2004 05:24:26 GMT</pubDate>

Per the RSS 2.0 spec at

Confirmation of this bad-ness from the feed validator:

Hope that helps.
