Craig,

I got it working. Just add the following to you .emacs
 
(setq mew-prog-imls-arg-list (list "--form=%5n %m%d %-14A %-40S %b"))

I was trying to set it to:

(setq mew-prog-imls-arg-list (list "-f \"%5n %m%d %-14A %-40S %b\""))

but this did not work because when imls was called, that arg was
passed as:

	"-f "%5n %m%d %-14A %-40S %b""

The format means ( I think ) :

%5n %m%d %-14A %-40S %b
 |   |     |     |    |
 |   |     |     |    - body
 |   |     |     - subject width
 |   |     - sender width
 |   - month day
 - message number

I think if you make format something like:

%5n %m%d %-14A %-50S

Should work.
