Dear mutt devs,

The message "Move read messages to ..." that appears when leaving a mailbox and 
'move' is set is useful.  But upon deciding to move read message I often find 
myself wondering how many messages mutt wants to move, as in: will it move the 
one message I know I read and I expect it to move, or are there other messages 
that I still need to deal with and should not yet be moved.

If all messages appear in the current index screen then it is easy to check 
what will be moved.  But in case of folded threads or more messages than what 
fits on the screen that is not possible.

Is there an obvious solution that I overlooked?

Two possible ways to improve on this could be:
1. print the number of messages to be moved in the message, just like the 
message "Purge <N> deleted messages?"
2. add to status_format a sequence like:
        %R      number of read messages

Would you accept patches for one of these solutions, or maybe both?

Thanks, Daan
