        YES!

        For the benefit of the archives, the correct alchemy is to change
index_format in .muttrc. The original is:

set index_format="%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-15.15L (%4l) %s"

        If you're familiar with the mutt index layout, obviously the
bit in () is the length. Change %4l to %4c, which makes:

set index_format="%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-15.15L (%4c) %s"

        ... and restart mutt. Frankly, my users and I find message-size more
useful, YMMV.

        Thanks, Ralf!
