If you are talking of the date field in the message list: I have a code
snipplet for you (from kmail2). I don't have time to add it currently, but
it works.

This code returns a string that contains the date relative to the current 
date. Within 24 hours only the hour is returned, then only the weekday,
then only the date, etc.

Maybe usable?

Kind regards,
Stefan
