I don't know about the number, but it IS possible to show a flag
in the index indicating the presence of one or more attachments...

I set mine that way, but don't remember how. I'll take a quick
gander at my muttrc and maybe it'll jump out at me...

	# the default format
	#set index_format="%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-15.15L (%?l?%4l&%4c?) %s"
	# this one shows attachments
	#set index_format="%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-15.15L %?X?{%2X}&%4c? %s"
	set index_format="%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-20.20L %?X?^&%4c? %s"

OK, that last one is what sets the attachment indicator. Looks like
it is the "^&" out near the end.

Prolly a good idea to look it up in the mutt doc before butchering
yours, though.
