Opera already has
67047="Today %X"
in the language file.

By editing a copy of this in the profile directory, we can customize the
date format for "today" messages using the info at
http://www.opera.com/support/helpfiles/m2resources.html

Please put customizable formats in the language file for current week old
and older messages also, so we can have full date customizing capability.

The following would preserve the existing (awful) setup.

; Formats the M2 display of time today
67047="Today %X"
; Formats the M2 display of day and time for current week messages
#####="%A %X"
; Formats the M2 display of date for older messages
#####="%x"

This would be better than nothing, IMO these options strongly demand a GUI.
The one thing I can live with is the today - marker, which I like. But
those weekdays are really annoying.
