I know what you mean, and although it isn't perfect, technically this is a
solution:
set index_format="%2C%Z|%[%b %e %k:%M] %-14.14F %3l|%s"
i.e., the first column is the message number. Collapsed threads with multiple
messages show up as jumps in the numbering. The message number is also useful
for jumping to messages of course, especially deleted ones.
