Since you are talking about a CVS version which I do not use...

Since my version of mutm has no such feature, I like
to see a counter instead of only "has atachment(s)".

I am waiting for it...

YES

Yes, it is a loss.

Since I have no such feature in 1.5.9 I will find it domage,
if the mutt developers do not include such feature...
