% ummwhat does all gobbledegook up there mean? I'd say it looked like
Heh :-) As Rocco said, it's explained in the manual.
% Perl, except for I know Perl, and that isn't. (I am not conversant in
% the source code for mutt, I'm just a mutt user.)
Let's break it apart.
... # the leading-up-to-this part of $index_fmt
%?# a conditional flag: decide what to print ...
M # ... based on %M (the number of msgs if collapsed)
? # if this is a collapsed tree, then
#%03M # print and 3-digit count of messages and
# else
(%3c) # print ( and 3-digit char-based size of message and )
? # end the conditional
... # the after-this remaining part of $index_fmt
So I was, with some obfuscation, pointing to the %3c part, because you
may recall that we were discussing that the browser doesn't show K or M
but the index does.

% I am mostly concerned about knowing how much disk usage I am using up
% for my mailboxes on the mail server, and this is much more easily
% learned by a quick glance at human readable format sizes in K and M,
% rather than raw data in bytes.
You can probably get a better picture of that from the command line than
within mutt. mutt isn't a file manager.
%
% From the three responses to this question I've seen so far, two say
% it's possible with lots of gobbledegook, and one says it isn't possible
% and that I can fix it with a source code modification. In either event,
% could someone point me in the direction of a resource to learn how to
% do either?
When you finally do find it, please let us know. I'd be quite interested
in such gobbledegook for the browser; it sounds like a nifty feature.
