You can also use conditional elements in index_format that will
print different pieces of information depending on the values of
other pieces of information. This is explained in the mutt manual
in the "Conditionals" section.
As an example, I have this string as part of my index_format.
%?X?*& ?
If the number of attachments (X) is non-zero, "*" is inserted.
Otherwise, " " is inserted.
