Get a list of emails in a folder

I would like to get a file containing a list of emails in my mail folder in Thunderbird. If a command line program produced the desired output, it might look something like the following:

msg_list -f [folder_name] > msg_list_filename.txt

Each line of the output file (e.g., msg_list_filename.txt) would contain the Subject, Correspondents, and Date of the message -- just like Thunderbird shows interactively by default.

It seems to me that this almost certainly already exists but I can't find it.

Being able to configure the output columns would be nice but not essential.

Thanks in advance! Charlie P.

The ImportExportTools NG add-on can export a folder index in csv or html format.
