Setting message priority levels
I'm using Mutt 1.5.21 (Mutt patched from the Ubuntu repository) and connecting to the IMAP server that is run by my hosting company. I was wondering is there a way to set the importance out outgoing messages in Mutt, like in Outlook (Yuck, I feel so dirty even typing the name ;-) ) or I believe also in Thunderbird? Thank you, -- John
Re: Setting message priority levels
I found some information about setting the outgoing message priority. From: http://dev.mutt.org/trac/wiki/MuttFaq/Header I found: How can I change Message Priority for outgoing mails? How can I add something like Low, Normal, Medium, High priority to a mail right before sending? This is usually done through a ttPriority:/tt header, although it is not a standard header. It is up to the MUA whether it supports it or not. If the receiving MUA does not support it, it will not be displayed to the receiver. Mutt allows you to setup ttmacros/tt, various -hooks, and ttmy_hdr/tt to add the header to a message. I'm afraid I really don't understand this though. What are ttmacros/tt? If I understood at least partially correctly, using this macro I can write a priority level to the header. Although this is a non-standard header and the recipient may or may not see it depending on the receiving MUA. Is that correct? -- Thank you, John

* John Niendorf j...@jfniendorf.org [09-15-13 18:40]: Hey Patrick, Did you see the link above the text? The one where I said From: directly before the link? I guess I should have put quotation marks around everything I was quoting. I thought, erroneously, that writing I found:directly after that link would be taken to mean that the following text was found at the above link. Guess I was wrong about that. I copied the dev.mutt.org entry regarding my question and pasted it in the email I sent. Down below I specifically said I don't understand this. I guess that makes two of us then, eh?
