@itemize
@item The fields shown in the headers view can be influenced by customizing
the variable @t{mu4e-headers-fields}
@item You can change the date format by customizing the variable
@t{mu4e-headers-date-format}
the variable @code{mu4e-headers-fields}
@item Instead of showing the @t{From:} and @t{To:} fields separately, you
can use From/To (@t{:from-or-to} in @code{mu4e-headers-fields} as a more
compact way to convey the most important information: it shows @t{From:}
@emph{except} when the e-mail was sent by the user (i.e., you) - in that case
it shows @t{To:} (prefixed by @t{To}, as in the example above). To determine
whether a message was sent by you, @t{mu4e} uses the variable
@code{mu4e-user-mail-address-regexp}, which should be a regular expression
matching all the e-mail addresses that you use.
@item The letters in the 'Flags' field correspond to the following: D=draft,
F=flagged, N=new, P=passed (i.e.., forwarded), R=replied, S=seen, T=trashed,
a=has-attachment, x=encrypted, s=signed, u=unread.
@item The From/To field shows the sender of the message unless the sender
matches the regular expression in @t{mu4e-user-mail-address-regexp}, in
which the header will show @t{To} followed by the recipient.
@item You can change the date format by customizing the variable
@t{mu4e-headers-date-format}

threading algorithm}@footnote{@url{http://www.jwz.org/doc/threading.html}}.
