index_format: conditional right justification does not work about neomutt HOT 5 CLOSED

@ernix
Thanks for the bug report.
Please can you give branch [devel/expando] a try.

It should fix your problem.
I'll add some tests later.

@freswa
I think your problem is actually just syntax.
The error message could be a bit more helpful, though :-)

First, let's upgrade your format to use the modern %<...> syntax:

set attach_format = "%u%D %?Q?📎& ? %T%-75.75d %?T?%&   ? %5s · %m/%M"
set attach_format = "%u%D %<Q?📎& > %T%-75.75d %<T?%&   > %5s · %m/%M"

The problem is in the middle of this conditional: %<T?%& >

There's a % that shouldn't be there.
Removing it, gives:

set attach_format = "%u%D %<Q?📎& > %T%-75.75d %<T?&   > %5s · %m/%M"

which works.
If there are tree characters (%T is true) print nothing.
If there aren't tree characters (%T is false), print 3 spaces.

I think I'm in the same boat, with

/home/frederik/.config/neomutt/layout:10: Option attach_format: Unknown expando: %

Which is this line:

set attach_format = "%u%D %?Q?& ? %T%-75.75d %?T?%&   ? %5s · %m/%M"

Can create a separate issue if this doesn't fit here.
