Adding %c to $index_format will give you an indication of the total
size of a message, so you could avoid opening the message if it were
too large.
You wouldn't know anything about the attachment types; if it were a
multi-part message, and you just wanted to avoid opening a large
text/plain attachment, mutt would still have to scan the whole
message to determine the attachment types. If scanning the message
isn't a problem, but displaying it in the pager is, then you could
use the attachments menu to skip the large ones.
