Rolling My Own

[Janina Sajka]

The Pine setup configurations let you choose how the index is listed
out--as recieved, or the reverse of how messages are recieved, or by
thread, or by sender, or by a host of features or their reverse. It does
not let one tweak what summary is presented for each message.

To put it differently, it lets you tweak the vertical order. But, I want
to tweak the horizontal order. I want a number to the far left followed by
the subject and then the sender. There's nothing like this in the Pine
setup.
