I use this:
set index_format="%3C%?M?+& ?
there's more to $index_format, but that's the relevant part.
%3C gives the number of the message, and as someone else noted, if a thread
is collpased, there's a jump in the numbering. Then the %?M?+& ? says "if
there are messages hidden because of a collapsed thread, show a +, else a
space". So I get something like:
1 blah
2 blah
3+blah
8 blah
9+blah
14 blah
etc.
This works for me, you could use the same method to stick any kind of
marker you wanted in for a collapsed thread.
