Well, that looked promising, David. Thanks for catching that. It appears that the count_alternatives variable is intended for counting the attachments a message has and showing that number in the index view. Its documentation leads to:
https://neomutt.org/guide/mimesupport.html#attachments which states nothing about forwarding but rather about counting the number of attachments inside a multipart/alternative MIME block to display the count. I suppose next I shall follow up with the neomutt mailing list. - Nate -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears this is true."
