We all know how the ISO8601 works. The fact remains that there is a reason why the local system format is used over the ISO8601 standard by default. It may have been a wrong decision in the past in your eyes, but that is the way it is.
The ISO standard was created to fix these exact problems. Why not take some of its escence, and make your software work better the world over.

If you want to change it, change it in the registry.
The registry should be the place you head to when you have some non-standard/rare needs to be catered for.
What we have been asking about in this and other threads is that is should work better by default. (And to perhaps make any changes easier to make as a bonus)

As for your last part: No, if some setting is located in the registry it is by no means easy to integrate this into the GUI of the program. There are very big differences between checking upon an registry setting internally, and providing a user-friendly GUI options panel with all the proper translations and explainations, options, etc.
Simple, set the Save By Email option as default, and change the default filename registry entries to give us a format like above. No GUI changes needed.
