Yes. An icon looking like a paper with a paper clip over it appears.
Send yourself some e-mails to test this with.

Yes, with dinky little opened or unopened envelope icons, here, that are
so small that there's barely a discernable difference between them.

You get to flag some messages, for whatever purpose you like (read it
again later, find one message in a thousand easier, etc). Just click
into the space that column provides and a flag appears or disappears.

Untested, but look in the "Actions" menu, there's a "Forward as" item,
and a "Redirect" sub-item. Considering the other options in there, that
seems a likely candidate.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
