FYI using that will break your outbox (if you use one) showing who the
outbound mail is to. So I'd use it like this:
folder-hook . 'set index_format = "%4C %Z %[%b %d] %-15.15n (%4l) %s"'
# Set the outbox index different, I want to see who I'm sending to.
folder-hook out 'set index_format = "%4C %Z %[%b %d] %-15.15L (%4l) %s"'
And also BTW the default is:
set index_format = "%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-15.15n (%4l) %s"
^^^^^^^^
Note the difference between {} and [].
{} transforms the date to the senders localtime.
[] transforms the date to your localtime.
