Hmmm... I've found that 'N' next to only single messages; collapsed
threads with new mail have 'n' by them.
But the even clearer indication of a collapsed thread is that, instead
of the number of lines in the message, the number of messages and a '#'
are displayed in that column. You can play with your index_format and
pager_format settings (um, did they change in 1.2?) to tweak things as
you like, and probably even throw in some color to make things even more
obvious (no idea how to do that, though; I'm a mono-phile).

Welcome to the clob :-)
