What does the yellow envelope icon next to a sent message indicate?

Some of the messages in my “sent” folder have envelope icons next to them and others do not. My only guess is that perhaps the ones without icons have been read but the ones with an icon means that the person I sent the message to has not read it yet. Is that an accurate guess or does it mean something else?

Your are correct. However, the email recipient also gets an email automatically sent to their actual email address with the full body of the message. That means that they could have read the message there without having to check their Bonanza messages.

That wasn’t always the case in the early days of Bonanzle/Bonanza. Several years ago, that feature was added due to concerns about Bonanzlers not checking their Bonanza messages regularly.
