How do I get rid of the "junk" icon on a message when it has been put there by mistake?

I converted a couple of perfectly legitimate e-mail messages to "junk" by mistakenly clicking the "junk" button that is in that Reply-Forward-Archive-Junk-Delete row below the upper window in which information about each e-mail is displayed line by line in whatever file (Inbox, Drafts, Sent, etc.) has been selected.

It was easy, of course, to move these back to my Inbox, which is where I wanted them, but now they have bright orange "junk" icons displayed to the left of the Date. That in itself doesn't especially bother me, but I am bothered by the action those icons must represent; namely, that I have "instructed" Thunderbird to recognize e-mails from those sources as junk and to begin diverting messages from those sources to the Junk folder. I definitely don't want that to happen, yet the Junk feature seems otherwise good, so I don't want to disable it, either. How do I get rid of junk icons on e-mails mistakenly tagged as junk? And will reversing the "junk-ness" of a message surgically remove it from Thunderbird's learning process?

Thank you for helping.

There are several ways. The two easiest are to click the Junk icon to turn it off or right click the message and select Mart As-Not Junk.
