No it does not work. Docs says literal string needs to be quoted
with "<br id="yMail_cursorElementTracker_1588128171029">

This format works for me:<br>
'ddd, dd mmm yyyy hh:nn:ss' <br>
Fpc 3.04, windows 7, 32bits, and fpc 3.04, Linux, 64bits.<br>
<br>
Some points:<br>
<ul>
<li>"m" is allowed for minutes , nevertheless, I use for minutes
"n", not "m".</li>
<li>I have suppressed the time zone information, I couldn't see
how to set it in formatStrings, nevertheless, it ignores the
GMT, or anything after time in input string with no error.</li>
<li>I think that the scanner ignores the character after weekday,
it expects a separator, as long as it is not a "d" if will
accept and skip anything. So the double quote after the three
"d" of <br>
<tt>'ddd", "dd</tt> is ignored and everything breaks. It's a
little confusing.<br>
</li>
<li>The weekday and month depend on you local.<br>
</li>
<li>using non-ascii characters breaks things. In Spanish Wednesday
is "Miércoles" (e with acute accent) and Tuesday is "Martes":
"mar, 28 abr 2020" works, but "Mié, 29 Abr 2020" fails. I think
that the problem is that é uses two bytes in UTF-8, but scan
only deals properly with single byte characters</li>
</ul>
