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. Wayne -- "Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.
