I've just worked out that you can achieve whatever you want - this must be what
I'd done in a previous installation - by defining a new theme under Settings ->
Configure KMail - > Appearance -> Message List ->  Configure -> Appearance. 
This includes having anything, other than Subject, in the first column.
