So let's recap on this whole Importance/Priority feature... a quick search on the net provides the following list of known priority related headers:
X-MS-Priority X-MSMail-Priority X-Priority Priority Importance Precedence X-Urgent according to rfc2076: Priority: RFC 1327, not for general usage. Precedence: Non-standard, controversial, discouraged. Importance: RFC 1327 and RFC 1911, experimental There also seems to be a difference of opinion on how the X-Priority/Priority headers are to be used. According to rfc2076 and rfc2156, there are 3 values: "normal", "urgent" and "non-urgent" but a quick search on google shows that many mailers set values between 1 and 5 (inclusive). According to one site, a value of 1 means the highest priority and 5 means lowest, but another site claims just the opposite. (I would have to say that the most logical to me would be 5 is the highest priority and 1 is the lowest, but hey - I didn't invent the fucking thing so I guess my opinion means squat). yay for non-standards. So, it seems to me that supporting [X-]Priority is out of the question, unless we only support "normal" (aka '3' for the mailers that use integer values). Of course, supporting only "normal" is pretty much a waste of time given that we already support normal mail :-) Jeff On Mon, 2002-06-03 at 12:58, Lonnie Borntreger wrote: > On Mon, 2002-06-03 at 11:32, Jeffrey Stedfast wrote: > > I was only aware of X-MS-Priority for Outlook and X-Priority for > > Netscape/Mozilla - what is the other Microsoft priority header?
