Press ? for help
Look for "The list of available tokens is here." anc click on here.

Look for the tokens called STATUS and FULLSTATUS. I report only the first 
lines of each

STATUS
This token represents a three character wide field displaying various
       aspects of the message's state.

FULLSTATUS
This token represents a less abbreviated alternative to the "STATUS"
       token. It is six characters wide.

I personally have FULLSTATUS. I do not care much for the A and F flags, 
but have a set of flags of my own, associated with special colours.

FULLSTATUS should do sort of what you want.
