Current system date on email template

I am trying to put the current system date on email template but the following code is not working properly. Can anyone help me…

Date: {{ “today” | date: " %d -%m- %y" }}

thanks

This works in version 19.7.41:

Date: {{ “now” | date: " %d - %M - %y" }}

Ok got it , just changed the %m with %M and now its working. thanks
