o The "+" that sometimes shows up in the first column of the FOLDER INDEX
means that the message so marked was sent directly to you, as opposed
to you being CC'd or receiving the message by virtue of being on a
mailing list. The idea is that messages with the "+" sign might
require some action on your part, whereas messages without the "+" are
more likely to be "for your information".
