I'm not exactly sure what the difference between R and RO is but those
lines are inserted by mailx after you have read a particular piece of
mail.  This is how mailx decides what to put in front of the message
list (N means new, U means unread, and " " means that you've read it)
when you start mailx or use the h/z commands.
