As I recall, you can't modify the look of the thread list in the way you 
want to by using a macro.

I also believe there is no slrn option to do what you're aiming to do. 
But my familiarity with slrn configuration variables is not what it used 
to be.  Please do peruse 
http://slrn.sourceforge.net/docs/slrn-manual.html and check for 
yourself.  If I'm wrong about this, please do post back to the list.

This leaves modifying slrn's source code.  You could modify slrn to make 
it do what you want.  If you do this, consider adding a new 
configuration variable to make your modification settable.
