I wonder if the number of attachments could be shown in the index?
I don't know about the number, but it IS possible to show a flag
in the index indicating the presence of one or more attachments...
I set mine that way, but don't remember how. I'll take a quick
gander at my muttrc and maybe it'll jump out at me...
# the default format
#set index_format="%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-15.15L (%?l?%4l&%4c?) %s"
# this one shows attachments
#set index_format="%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-15.15L %?X?{%2X}&%4c? %s"
set index_format="%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-20.20L %?X?^&%4c? %s"
OK, that last one is what sets the attachment indicator. Looks like
it is the "^&" out near the end.
No, the & is part of the trinary ?& operator. %X is the number of attachments.
Prolly a good idea to look it up in the mutt doc before butchering
yours, though.
Indeed :-) I wondered how I missed it ... I will try that, but I'm not sure
it's useful when corporate email has so many useless attachments.
Just tried it on corporate email, and it only showed for one email, which had a
single text attachment. Other emails with multiple image/png attachment showed
nothing. I'll experiment more later.
