It's not exactly the answer you're looking for, but this is precisely the kind of scenario my "softfill" patch is made to address. This patch implements the "%* " notation, which is analogous to "%> " but gives precedence to the right side instead of to the left when the fill length is zero. With a long subject, the subject would be truncated enough for anything to the right of "%* " to render in full. http://home.uchicago.edu/~dgc/sw/mutt/patch-1.5.16.dgc.softfill.1 -- -D.
