It indicates that the denoted message is "subject" threaded, and not
*really* threaded (i.e. it either has no In-Reply-To: etc. headers or
they reference a message not in this box). Mutt made an educated
guess about what thread it belonged in and stuck it there.
Note that this is *all* the threading many (lame) mailreaders do. ;-)
