While I don't know slrn's code for this, a proper approach to add
something along these lines to mutt would require some new control
sequences to be added to some format strings - remember, with mutt,
the index display is freely configurable. Additionally, this may
mix very badly with the pattern-dependent index coloring.
However, please note that you are welcome to figure out a clean
approach and submit a patch. Remember, mutt is free software.
