You can also use %M as a conditional.

Default:
    index_format="%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-15.15L (%?l?%4l&%4c?) %s"
Change to:
    index_format="%?M?v& ? %4C %Z %{%b %d} %-15.15L (%?l?%4l&%4c?) %s"

This shows a 'v' in the first column of a collapsed thread leader, and a
space for ordinary messages.

(Aside to developers: I like the new default index_format!)
