  17       After you click on a folder, you will be taken (in the right frame) to the
  18       message index.  This lists messages in the selected folder.  Below the
  19       menu choice is a line which informs you which mails you are viewing
  20       numerically and how many total you have.
  21       </p><p>
  22       For example: Viewing messages <B>20</B> to <B>30</B> (45 total).
  23       </p><p>
  24       Notice that the total message count might be different from the unread
  25       mail count which is to the right of the main mail folder.
  26       </p><p>
  27       A bar containing three buttons is next.  On the left side is a drop down
  28       list box.  This box lists your currently subscribed folders.  Any selected
  29       message will be moved to the selected folder when the move button is pushed.
  30       Multiple messages may be moved at once.  On the right side of this bar is
  31       a button used to delete selected messages.  Just select the junk mail and
  32       press the button.
  33       </p><p>
  34           A bar three fields (From, Date, and Subject) is next.  These Headings
  35           separate the message table into logical parts.  From tells you who sent
  36           you the message.  Or at least what email address it came from.  Date
  37           shows the day which the email was sent.  Subject displays what the sender
  38           entered as the subject.  <b>Note:</b> Between the Date and Subject
  39           columns is a small column that is unlabeled.  There could be a "+", "!"
  40           or an "A" in there.  If you see the "+", that means that the message has
  41           attachments, if you see the "A", that means that you have answered the
  42           message, and if you see the "!", then the message was marked as urgent!
  43       </p><p>
  44       What remains is the actual message table.  You will notice that unread
  45       messages are <B>bold</B> while viewed messages are in normal text.
  46       Four fields form this table.  On the far left is a select box.  When
  47       selected the message on the same line is subject to the actions previously
  48       discussed, (moving and deletion).  Under the From header is listed whom
  49       the message is from.  Surprising, we know. But hey, you don't have to read
  50       this.  Next is listed the date, and finally the subject.
