Is it possible to change the priority to High so Outlook will understand it? The priority meaning the email will be sent to the normal email queue but on Outlook it would have the exclamation point.man mail will show you how to change the priority, sender, and much more :)
$ man mail | grep -i priority | wc -l 0 $ rpm -q centos-release centos-release-5-2.el5.centos.x86_64 Actually, I think MS LookOut expects some header line indicating the priority. But added an arbitary header line is not possible using mail (or mailx). To add the required header, you would need to format the whole mail message, including all the standard required headers, plus the header line indicating a priority for displaying an exclamation mark in MS LookOut, and then sending that message of using "sendmail" itself. Or you could use some perl/python/php/ruby script that does all this for you. Mail/mailx/mail cannot add the header.
