You can either add a "Lines: #" header to each message which tells
mutt how many lines the message is.
Alternatively, I just do this:
set index_format="%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-15.15L (%4c) %s"
That makes mutt display the size of the message in bytes instead of
lines, which does not rely on the headers. Being a former pine user,
I'm more used to seeing the size of the message in bytes (which also
makes more sense when people send me binary attachments).
