Subject: show number of new messages per folder in folder list screen?

looks like it's my day to spam pine-info. this is the last one, i 
promise...well, for today at least.

in the folder list screen, i'd like to see the number of new messages in each 
folder, next to that folder's name. i'd only use this with incoming folders, so 
i don't mind whether it works with normal folder collections or not.

again, i searched, and couldn't find an existing feature or patch, so i'll 
probably write a patch for this. however, if anyone knows of existing pine code 
or features that do this, please let me know!

p.s. i'm fired up about writing patches because i recently switched from pine 
to gmail (well, technically our internal version) for a month, as an 
experiment. i loved some things, and hated others. i've put up notes here:

it also gave me perspective on how i could handle email better, which was nice.

I have a patch that gives you the number of recent messages and the total 
of messages in that folder, and it only does it for the incoming folders 
collection. Folders with recent messages get selected. Take a look at
