Dear 'mutters',

i have a problem using the file browser (e.g. when choosing an
attachment). I'm generally happy with the 'folder_format' default
settings showing all the detailed stuff about rights, owner,
group, lenght etc.[1] But the files i have to deal with have
fairly long filenames and differ only in their extensions (part
after the last dot in filename). The filenames are truncated, so
i can't see the extension and therefor can't choos the right file
to attach.

This would be no problem if i could customize the file browser
status bar format to show the filename of the marked file. 

But i don't know how to do this, nor any other way to get sight
of the whole filename.

Any suggestions?

[1] I allready made a macro for viewing the folder list because
    for a while i used folder names with full realnames + email
    adress:

    folder-hook . 'set folder_format="%3C %t %N %F %2l %-8.8u %-8.8g %8s %d %f"'
    macro index c "<enter-command>set folder_format=\"%3C%t%N%7s 
%f\"\r<enter-command>set 
index_format="%4C|%Z|%[!%y%m%d]|%-17.17L|%4l|%s"\r<change-folder>" 'lean file menue 
for xxl folder names'
    macro pager c "<enter-command>set folder_format=\"%3C%t%N%7s 
%f\"\r<enter-command>set 
index_format="%4C|%Z|%[!%y%m%d]|%-17.17L|%4l|%s"\r<change-folder>" 'lean file menue 
for xxl folder names'

    but in case of attachments i want to see all the stuff the
    default settings let show.
