Type: format string
Default: "%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-15.15L (%4l) %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
to format output (see the man page for more detail). The
following sequences are defined in Mutt:
%a address of the 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''
%f entire From: line (address + real name)
%F author name, or recipient name if the message is from you
%i message-id of the current message
%l number of lines in the message
%L list-from function
%m total number of message in the mailbox
%N message score
%n author's real name (or address if missing)
%O (_O_riginal save folder) Where mutt would formerly have stashed the
message: list name or recipient name if no list
%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
%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 system call

%<fmt> the current local time. ``fmt'' is expanded by the system
