According to the mutt FAQ, an asterisk there means that it's a
"pseudo-thread": the headers didn't say that it was a reply, but mutt
assumed that they belonged together because the subject lines were the
same. Usually that's what you want, but you can toggle it on and off
with the "strict_threads" setting.
By the way, in the future you might limit your screenshots to the window
you're referring to, and use a nice browser-friendly format like JPEG.
Somebody using dial-up who went to view your screenshot might get quite
a surprise when they realized they were downloading a file that large. I
think the "import" program from ImageMagick can automatically make JPEG
screenshots from the command line.
