... and I stick the X-Label value on the right of the listing.
Thank you for having mentioned this. I have been adding X-Label
headers for years (via procmail, for many but not all incoming
emails), mostly using them for "~y" in manually typed index
limits and for a few save-hooks, but I never thought of getting
them displayed in the index.
My index_format has now been extended by "%* %?y? %y?": If there
is an X-Label, it will be shown right-justified (prepended with
two spaces for visual separation), and if there is no X-Label,
the index row will look just like before.
And in turn, thank you for sharing your new format setting. I've just changed
mine based on that:
-set index_format="%D %-15.15F %S %?M?(%M) ?%?H?[%H] ?%s%> %y %4c"
+set index_format="%D %-15.15F %S %?M?(%M) ?%?H?[%H] ?%s%* %?y? %y? %4c"
having read up on the difference between "%>" (right justify) and "%*" (soft
fill) and decided that I prioritise the X-Label over the subject line.
