Ahhh...and I had been using my original trial-and-error attempt without "&"
so yes, the columns shifted, although ALL of them shifted, at least all in
the thread...dunno if it would shift the entire mailbox if you had more
than one thread.
I finally settled on a prefix to index_format of: "%?M?[%2M]& ?"
...and am QUITE happy with it. Dang, you guys have a lot of great
functionality in this. I'm sufficiently impressed!
Thanks for the time and effort, esp. since I keep looking at the wrong docs or
wrong spots in the docs. I'll consult both the manual AND the help screen
from now on. :)
