I don't know what some of the icon symbols mean in the Thunderbird message list, and can't find a legend anywhere in the help documentation. For example, what does a black bold right arrow next to the sender mean?

Note that the icons you see can be modified by any theme you may use, your version of Thunderbird, and your Operating System. So any list such as that suggested above will show you what functions the icons can represent, while not covering the gamut of images and colour schemes actually available.

Thank you, but this list is out of date and doesn't have the icon I'm looking for.
