The depth of the conversation for a certain message is reflected in its

Messages in the threaded list are indented based on the depth in the

indentation, and the message are prefixed with certain kind of arrows:

discussion, and are prefix with a kind of arrow with thread-related

\fB`->\fR is for the \fIfirst child\fR of a certain message, \fB|->\fR is for
|
information about the message, as in the following table:
|

other children of a message. \fB-*>\fR is for messages whose parent is missing
|
|
||||||
in the matches, and finally \fB==>\fR is for duplicate messages (messages with

.nf

the same message-id as their parent).

Here, the an 'orphan' is a message without a parent message (in the list of
|
||||||
|
matches), and a duplicate is a message whose message-id was already seen
|
||||||
|
before.
