Took a look into the sidebar patch, and it redraws itself while in the pager, but it seems to rely on Mutt's current functionality with respect to updating mailbox info (buffy lists). So, if Mutt hasn't updated that info, then the redraw doesn't change anything. I didn't bother to trace all of the places that Mutt decides to update the buffy lists from though. You might try pager_index_lines and see if Mutt decides to keep up-to-date when your pager is displaying the partial index. -- Brandon Sandrowicz
