What works well for me is to use mutt with its threaded view and collapse threads that are no longer interesting for whatever reason. My index_format line looks like this: set index_format="%3C %Z %[!%b%d] %-17.17F(%?M?#%3M&%4c?) %s" All that garbage in the parens there roughly translates to "show the number of hidden messages in a collapsed thread, or the size of the message if not a collapsed thread" for single messages, I see things like (1.0k) and for collapsed threads I see things like (# 57), indicated that there are 57 hidden messages in this thread. I really like this setup, though I can't claim credit for it. I'd like to credit the original author, but I don't remember where I got it. My best guess would be Sven Guckes' mutt config, from which I have borrowed many gems.
