from TFM:
3.114. index_format
Type: string
Default: "%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-15.15L (%?l?%4l&%4c?) %s"
This variable allows you to customize the message index display to your
personal taste.
"Format strings" are similar to the strings used in the C function
printf(3) to format output (see the man page for more details). The
following sequences are defined in Mutt:
%a address of the author
%A reply-to address (if present; otherwise: address of author)
%b filename of the original message folder (think mailbox)
%B the list to which the letter was sent, or else the folder name (%b).
%c number of characters (bytes) in the message
%C current message number
%d date and time of the message in the format specified by $date_format
converted to sender's time zone
%D date and time of the message in the format specified by $date_format
converted to the local time zone
%e current message number in thread
%E number of messages in current thread
%f sender (address + real name), either From: or Return-Path:
%F author name, or recipient name if the message is from you
%H spam attribute(s) of this message
%i message-id of the current message
%l number of lines in the message (does not work with maildir, mh, and
possibly IMAP folders)
%L If an address in the "To:" or "Cc:" header field matches an address
defined by the users "subscribe" command, this displays "To
<list-name>", otherwise the same as %F.
%m total number of message in the mailbox
%M number of hidden messages if the thread is collapsed.
%N message score
%n author's real name (or address if missing)
%O original save folder where mutt would formerly have stashed the
message: list name or recipient name if not sent to a list
%P progress indicator for the built-in pager (how much of the file has
been displayed)
%s subject of the message
%S status of the message ("N"/"D"/"d"/"!"/"r"/*)
%t "To:" field (recipients)
%T the appropriate character from the $to_chars string
%u user (login) name of the author
%v first name of the author, or the recipient if the message is from
you
%X number of attachments (please see the "attachments" section for
possible speed effects)
%y "X-Label:" field, if present
%Y "X-Label:" field, if present, and (1) not at part of a thread tree,
(2) at the top of a thread, or (3) "X-Label:" is different from
preceding message's "X-Label:".
%Z message status flags
%{fmt} the date and time of the message is converted to sender's time
zone, and "fmt" is expanded by the library function strftime(3); a
leading bang disables locales
%[fmt] the date and time of the message is converted to the local time
zone, and "fmt" is expanded by the library function strftime(3); a
leading bang disables locales
%(fmt) the local date and time when the message was received. "fmt" is
expanded by the library function strftime(3); a leading bang disables
locales
%<fmt> the current local time. "fmt" is expanded by the library
function strftime(3); a leading bang disables locales.
%>X right justify the rest of the string and pad with character "X"
%|X pad to the end of the line with character "X"
%*X soft-fill with character "X" as pad
"Soft-fill" deserves some explanation: Normal right-justification will
print everything to the left of the "%>", displaying padding and
whatever lies to the right only if there's room. By contrast, soft-fill
gives priority to the right-hand side, guaranteeing space to display it
and showing padding only if there's still room. If necessary, soft-fill
will eat text leftwards to make room for rightward text.
I believe you are looking for %m and it is for index_format rather than
folder_format.
Pardon me if I mis-understood your question. I have not used
"folder_format" and am unsure it intention as the doc's state:
This variable allows you to customize the file browser display to your
personal taste. This string is similar to $index_format, but has its
own set of printf(3)-like sequences:
I don't understand it's use....
gud luk,
