Microsoft mail newsreader and glasses

There is a column where the subject lines are with a pair of glasses. What
is this for? Also, with Windows Mail (that comes with Vista) every time I
post a message in a newsgroup my message has the glasses next to it and the
subject line is in red. How do I stop this?

Thanks!

It means you are *watching* \that thread. Get it? Watching - pair of
glasses..............

It's so that you can have the system watch a message thread for you. Click
in there, the glasses light up, and whenever messages are added to that
thread, they'll appear in red to call your attention to them.

It's automatically setting up a watch on your messages.

Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Message Threads

Uncheck "Mark message threads I start as as 'Watched'"
