No, it isn't possible out of the box. I use a nntp patch
(vvv.nntp) and therefore the mailbox name fills my screen
with the username, server and group which was in most cases
about 30 to 40 characters on a terminal with 80 characters
per line...
To make it short: I've made a patch which adds '%B' to
status_format to print only the last portion of '%f'. It's
attached.
Just copy it to the directory with mutt sources and run:
'patch -p1 < status_format.diff'
Cheers, Rocco
