I've noticed recently that when I'm looking at mutt's index, and I do a
'reload .muttrc', suddenly the parentheses around the number-of-lines field
disappear. Also, a zero gets added to the date field just-to-the-left-of
the number representing days of the month consisting of a single digit.
In other words, the index goes from looking like this:
20 r T 05/ 9 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ( 50) Re: Receipt for payment
21 s 05/ 9 Thomas Roessler ( 85) [Announce] mutt-1.2 is out.
22 r + 05/ 9 Teddi Longardt ( 10) Thank you!

If I change folders (or even 'change' into the same folder), the parens and
zeros are re-added. I much prefer the display *without* the parens (less
cluttered) and *with* the zeros -- the display I get when do the I 're-load
.muttrc'.
My question to the list is: How can I get the preferred display to show at
all times, not just when I reload muttrc?
I have 'reload .muttrc' mapped to ESCAPE-e:
# Reload the .muttrc with ESC e:
macro index \ee ":source ~/.muttrc\n" "\"ESC e\" reloads the muttrc"
macro pager \ee ":source ~/.muttrc\n" "\"ESC e\" reloads the muttrc"
and index_format set so:
# Format of the lines in the index:
set index_format="%3C %Z %[%m/%d] %-20.20n %3l %s"
The zeros in the date (or lack thereof) would seem to have to do with
the strftime on my system, but the strftime man says:
%d is replaced by the day of the month as a decimal number [01,31].
In other words the manpage assumes that the leading zero is always already
there.
I'm using mutt-1.2i, S-Lang 1.4.1, procmail-3.14 and zsh-3.0.7 on NetBSD 1.4.2_ALPHA.
Any takers?
