You basically got all that coerrectly. The full list of "status codes"
= "attributes" is a bit hidden in the nail/mailx man page:
String Options
attrlist
A sequence of characters to print in the `attribute' column of a
header summary, each for one type of messages in the following
order: new, unread but old, new but read, read and old, saved,
preserved, mboxed, flagged, answered, draft, killed, start of a
collapsed thread, collapsed, classified as junk. The default is
`NUROSPMFATK+-J', or `NU *HMFATK+-J' if bsdflags or the SYSV3
environment variable are set.
Also relate this to the key letters you can use to select subsets of
your mail folder, described in section "Specifying messages". (I guess
I do a "f :n" a zillion times every day, and I often use ":u" to hop
to the next unread msg.)
There's also a caveat: the status codes originate from times where
you read mail on "the mail server". nail incorporates mail access
to emails via, say, POP3 and IMAP, and in that context, the meaning
and handling of the flags may very well be influenced by what the
protocol/server is thinking of the status. There may be slight
differences (think of IMAP and "shared folders": if your colleague
already read a message which you didn't read yet, it may well be
presented to you as "R"ead. Etc.)
