    Experiment with the handy patch-1.5.4.dgc.softfill.2 from
David Champion. It adds a %=XY format you could use say as
"%= s  %.14n". That makes both dynamic: Subject left-aligned fully
dynamic but never hiding name, and name dynamic but 14-limited and
right-justified (?). Try it: Seeing is adopting. Thanks Dave!

    On really big screens you might want to replace space by a dot in
the format, as "%=.s.%.14n", to visually connect name to subject by a
dot line. Or try the em-dash "—": Result is visually great, but not
available on all terms. Especially it completely fails on UTF-8.

    Example display on 78 chars wide terminal with:

| set index_format="%4C %Z %[%_d %b %y %_H:%M] %?M?=%-4M&%5l? %=—s[%.16F]"
