Subject: "Direct-to-you" gone from 3.95?

Here at Harvard, 3.95 was made available on Friday, July 26.  One of the
first things I noticed was that the " + " symbol that used to appear in my
Inbox message list, to indicate those messages which had been sent to me
directly as opposed to from a listserv and c., no longer appeared?  I'm
wondering if this is on purpose or a glitch, as info about this feature
does still appear in the help-screen.

Thanks,

Shawn Hill

Check with your systems administrator. The "+" still appears on my
messages. I suspect it is a configuration issue.

My question is, Can the display of the '+' symbol be turned off?  I like
to tage things important '*' and all the '+' signs make it hard to see
the '*'.

Thanks,
Robert
