I don't think so (although I think it sounds like a good feature
request). You might want to review a couple of macros I use, though.
These are simplified versions, and might not work exactly, but hopefully
the idea comes across.
macro index =y0 '<enter-command>set index_format="%5C %-14.14F %?M?v& ?%?X?+& ?
%s"<enter><enter-command>macro index Y "=y1"<enter>'
macro index =y1 '<enter-command>set index_format="%5C %Z %[%y%m%d] %-18.18F
%?M?<%2M>&%4c?%?X?+& ? %s"<enter><enter-command>macro index Y "=y0"<enter>'
macro index Y "=y0"
The gist is this: =y0 sets an index_format that removes a lot of detail,
leaving more room for the subject. =y1 is my regular index_format, with
more detail and less room for the subject. When I want to examine more
of a subject line, I press 'Y', which acts as a toggle between the two
displays.
