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" 
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!
