To be more verbose, it is a conditional expando. ? and & are the
delimiters: %?<condition>?<if-true>&<else>? I want it to be conditional
on X, so it goes first; if there is an attachment show @, a blank space
otherwise. Without the blank space, my subject lines in the index would
be misalligned depending on if there are attachments or not.

Or do it from mutt! I use the following:
macro index,pager,postpone,compose,query,browser <F1> "<shell-escape>less
/usr/share/doc/mutt-kz-1.5.22/manual.txt<enter>" "Show Mutt documentation"
macro index,pager,postpone,compose,query,browser <F2> "<shell-escape>less
/usr/share/doc/mutt-kz-1.5.22/README.notmuch<enter>" "Secondary help"
PS: I use the mutt fork mutt-kz.
