It designates a "broken thread".
Normally there are headers to tell mutt where messages go in a thread.
If these headers aren't there but the subject of the message is the
same as another, mutt guesses that this message is part of a thread
and puts it in a thread with that asterisk in the index.
HTH. (There is further discussion online if you search around a bit.)
