This means that the Participant will not be what you specify later, so if
you want to read mails where you have not participated you would make a
search by:

; t ! P nancy CR

The advantage of this is that now you can narrow your select to say all
the ones that have the word "bug" in the subject so you would do:

; n t s bug CR

and now eliminate replies by

; n t ! s Re: CR

I hope this makes it clear...
