Dear Carolyn, I've just checked this in "preferences" in Mail. Thank you for pointing it out. I thought it was relevant to RAy's question relating to threads but now that you have asked, I'm not sure it is so apologies for confusion or ignorance. I don't really know what "buddy status" is and what is supposed to do in Mail. I thought it had something to do with the status of the message/thread. Once again, I hope I did not confuse matters for anyone else.
