I'm trying to find a way to limit the messages index to threads that
contain n or more messages. So far I've found that %E inserts the number
of messages in the current thread index_format. Unfortunately it seems
like mutt does not that whatever is on your index_format into account
when limiting the index.
Might there be an other way of doing it?
No, but it was straightforward to add this feature. Try the attached patch.
It adds a ~Z pattern and you can use it with a range.
