Threading question -- index "*" char

[Jonathan Irving]

Heya

I can't find any information in the mutt manual about the meaning
of the "*" character, when it appears in the child message
subject lines in the index.  Can anyone tell me what it
signifies?

I have threading enabled and ascii_chars set (although this
character appears as a "*" in either case).

TIA

cheers
