I couldn't find it in the manual, but if I remember correctly that star indicates the message is part of a "pseudo-thread", meaning the message marked with a star does not have the References and/or In-Reply-To messages headers set, and thus is only associated with that thread because the Subject header matches that of the rest of the Thread. Try setting "strict_threads" temporarily - if the starred message jumps to a new thread then that is probably what it is. HTH, -- dave [ please don't CC me ]
