[sclug] setting the format of Mutt's folder browsing view

[J.Mann]

It sounds like you need to set your "folder_format".

For example:

  set folder_format="%2C %t %N %F %2l %8s %d %f"

would be the default, less the user/group fields.

For extensive documentation see the Mutt manual:

  http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/manual-6.html#folder_format
