Subject: Undocumented symbols in message index

This list has been silent for a goodly while; time to liven things up.

Recently, I've noticed the following two symbols appearing in the message
index screen in Pine:

A full stop (.) between the size and subject of a message.

The double character |- at the start of a message's subject.

I believe that certainly the first, and probably the second, represent
Pine trying to tell me something about the messages.  However, neither the
context help screen, nor anything I can find on the web, tell me what.
Any ideas, please?

To my knowledge this is Pine's way to display a threaded view of your
inbox (i.e. sorted by Topic/Thread)

Change the display settings with $ and one of the options given in the
lower menu bar (A, S, D, F, and so on)

Best regards,
Stefan

Ah... So if there were a few more of them, my inbox would look like a
tree.  I get it now.
