Actually, it is. Or are you talking about mutt's generic directory
browser? I don't really understand what the issue is here. If mutt
claims to support mbox and maildir, it should *easily* be able to
show you a folder listing without extraneous files that aren't
actually folders or messages. That's it's job.
