I use a strategey similar to David Champion's index_format
method. My $index_format contains %?M?(#%03M)&(%4c)? which is
nearly identical to what he suggested.
I'd be interested, though, in how he managed to get the
index_format to display "the number of attachments if there are
attachments" as he said.
