I'm in the US, and the date format opentrashmail is using doesn't make sense to me at first glance since we use Month/Day/Year format.

moment.js would be great for this type of date formatting to allow others to use the format they're used to.

This could be a quick add by using an option inside config.ini to define the string format, then have PHP grab the string format when it loads $settings, and adding that to the $o array. JavaScript can then grab that string format and format the epoch accordingly.

I have a working example and can submit a PR if you'd like?

Edit: here's the working example: github.com/poblabs/opentrashmail@f82d50b56e
