   I'm not sure exactly what you're referring to here, unless it's something like   
   this:

   Mystic does indeed have that same feature. Take a look at the "message index"   
   reader thing, as I'm not sure it's a default setting or not. The menu item   
   command would be 'MI - Message Index Reader', though.   
      
   Hopefully that's something in the realm of what you were asking for, otherwise   
   I just typed out a bunch of junk you didn't need. :)

   Gotta learn somewhere, and you've come to the right place!
