The easiest route is what I mentioned a few months back and was reposted recently (Thanks Tim).... Here it is again: Subject: Re: Mail priorites From: "Wayne Brissette" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Fri, 20 Dec 2002 14:45:09 -0600 Zach Selland [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 20 December 2002 stated: >On Fri, Dec 20, 2002, Wayne Brissette <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >>I won't get into the merits or non-merits of priorities, but will suggest >>that you contact CTM Development directly and ask them about this feature >>request. > >It should be noted, also, that with version 4 there is now an option >(under Accounts) to add user-specified headers to outgoing mail.

AppleScripts to do this aren't the best idea, but you could make this work. To make this work, you would have to do the following: Make 5 accounts Account_Highest Account_High Account_Normal (or just Account) Account_Low Account_Lowest These accounts would be identical except for one part. In the Account area in the Advanced: area you would have to put the following: Set Account_Highest's Other Headers to --> "X-Priority: 1" (minus the quotes) Set Account_High's Other Headers to --> "X-Priority: 2" (minus the quotes) Set Account_Normal's Other Headers to --> "X-Priority: 3" (minus the quotes -- or leave off all together) Set Account_Low's Other Headers to --> "X-Priority: 4" (minus the quotes) Set Account_Lowest's Other Headers to --> "X-Priority: 5" (minus the quotes) Then you would need to setup incomming filters that would do something based on the priorities (change items color, put into certain folder, etc.) Now when somebody wanted to send a high priority message, they would simply use the pull-down to change the account. This wouldn't be any more difficult than Microsoft has made setting labels in their products.
