[Xymon] Sanity checking my alert config

In alerts.cfg, I have this:

HOST=* COLOR=red,purple SERVICE=msgs
         MAIL $ADMINMAIL
HOST=* COLOR=red,purple
         IGNORE SERVICE=msgs
         MAIL $ADMINMAIL RECOVERED

My goal with this is to see alerts for purple and red statuses for all 
tests, and then get recovery alerts for all tests except msgs.  Did I do 
the config right for that?

I would also like to see if I can get a legend for the alerting grid in 
the "info" page.  Here's a screenshot showing what the above config 
produces:

I'd like to know what "(R)" and "(S)" mean, and what the line where the 
email address is blue means.

Thanks,
Shawn
