Is it possible to show the date received column in this

Yes. Press M S C and go to "Index Format", there press "?" for help
and copy the default into the field and replace the original value of
SMARTDATETIME24 token by DATEISO.
In the available tokens, is SMARTDATETIMEISO24 , but, it does not
display the date in the ISO format.
Would it be possible, for the next release of alpine, to add a token
that displays the date in the ISO format, and, for all messages, the
time, in 24 hour format format; for example, DATEISOTIME24, or,
DATETIMEISO24 ?
One advantage of this, would be that, when a daily, or, otherwise
event-driven, no more than once daily, message is sent, it would mean
that monitoring the time of day that the message gets sent, when it
gets sent - for example, my Post Office Box has the facility where I
get notified by email, when mail is available for collection from the
Post Office Box, and, having time display, for all days, would enable
monitoring, by viewing the folder message index, of the time of day,
that the message has a history of being sent.
That, in conjunction with the message dates displayed in the index, in
ISO format,would be useful.
Thank you in anticipation.
I think that I have worked it out; I have
STATUS MSGNO DATEISO TIME24 FROMORTO(33%) SIZE SUBJKEY(67%)
That pretty much achieves (for me) an ideal index display (as much as
can be obtained in the current incarnation of the software - a
particular functionality was lost between a couple of previous versions).
One thing that I did find, is that the TIMEZONE token appears to not
work - it displays the timezone of "-0000", regardless of either the
timezone of from whence the message was sent, or, the timezone of the
receiving computer. So, all messages, regardless of the timezone from
which they originate, and, regardless of the timezone of the computer
receiving the messages, have the timezone displayed, of "-0000".
