[net.mail] Message Header Status Line

hartmann@siemens.UUCP (05/17/85)

     Does anyone know what the Status line in the message header means?
     I have seen:      

                     Status: R
        
                        and

                     Status: RO

     I have looked in every manual I could and didn't find reference to 
     this line anywhere.

     Thanks in advance.

It might be useful to point out that this is a phenonemon of /usr/ucb/mail
(for BSD or "mailx" for sysV).
