​If my distribution (fedora 20) uses the
​​
`NUROSPMFATK+-J'
​ set of attributes,
I'm missing the following
​ from my list​
:

   - ​​
   ​
   ​S = ?
   - P = ?
   - M = ?
   - K = ?
   - + = ?
   - - = ?
   - * = ?
   - H = ?

If my distribution uses the
​
`NU  *HMFATK+-J' set of attributes, then I'm missing the following from my
list:

   - * = ?
   - H = ?
   - K = ?
   - + = ?
   - - = ?

I suspect my distribution uses the
the
​
`NU *HMFATK+-J' attributes because I was able to get the 'H' flag to appear
by entering 'ho2' (for message 2). However, my 'SYSV3' environment variable
is not set and and I've not set the 'bsdflags' binary option. So I'm not
sure why it uses 'H' instead of 'P' for hold/preserved. Any thoughts on
this?

I'm trying to make each of the remaining attributes appear in my list of
message headers so that I understand what causes each of these codes.
Here's are the results of my current effort:

   - 'S'  -  At the '&' prompt, I entered 's2' to try to save message 2.
   This results in '"2" [New file] 20/652'. Then, use the 'h' command to renew
   my list of headers, but no 'S' status is displayed next to message 2. What
   am I doing wrong? Or, is this because my distribution uses the `NU
   *HMFATK+-J' set of status codes, which does not include 'S'? Instead, the
   '*' is in the 'S' place. Does '*' mean saved?
   - 'M'  -  'mboxed' according to the S-nail manual. Skipped because it
   may not be applicable to my environment.
   - 'K'   -  I was able to kill and unkill a specific message via k# and
   unkill#, but killed messages disappear, so I wasn't able to view the 'K'
   attribute. Any way to view this to verify it?
   - '+'   -  'start of a collapsed thread' changed to threaded mode and it
   works
   - '-'    -  'collapsed' according to the S-nail manual. Can't get this
   to appear -- thoughts?
   - '*'   -  I was able to get this flag to appear, but I don't know how.
   Which command will make this flag appear?
   - 'H' = Hold/Preserved

Thanks again for all your help. ​
