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

Mystic does indeed have that same feature. Take a look at the "message index"

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. :)
