I use the following as my index_format:
"%4C %Z %?X?@& ? %{%b %d} %-15.15n (%?M?ยป%3M&%4c?) %s"
The @ tells me there is an attachement, and the 4c tells me the size of
the email. I find this works mostly, except from some emails from Apple
Mail. It does not work when the Apple Mail user "embeds" the attachment
in the email (e.g. pictures). I think the MIME information set by Apple
Mail in this case is just plain wrong.
Hope this helps,
