I read mailing lists, and a typical index page looks like

The problem is that I see lots of useless stuff and the actual subjects are 
cut off.  How can I make
Pine not show the author of the message or the "BMCR 2003.03.17" part of the 
subject?  Is
there anyway to get what is shown in the index to include the output of an 
external program run on the message body?  (I ask because BMCR truncates the 
subject lines themselves, so I can't see the full subjects even if I make my 
screen super wide.  However the full subject lines can easily be extracted 
from the message body.)

I don't think there's any way to run it through an external program, but look
at the help for the
index-format
setting in the configuration (from the main menu hit S then C) settings.

I only noticed this recently when looking through the settings.  I haven't
configured it, but it looks like it could be useful.
