Dear Rich,

 

I do understand this well. I've also said in the earlier mails that I'll not
mark emails as high priority. I thank you for the explanation.

Vishal,

In Microsoft Outlook & Outlook Express, when you mark an item as "high
priority / importance" it puts a large red exclamation point on the message
which then (in my case) puts your email to the top of my email list (above
my regular client correspondence.

This happens to anyone who gets your email (for the most part).

Why is this a problem for the average person on this list? Anyone who is
using a personal email address for this list will have your original email
as high priority, and all the responses are also high priority.

So, when I check my email, I see the high priority email, along with several
other responses that come on top of my normal business related emails. I
might have a client delay due to reading the high priority emails (which in
my case wouldn't be high priority).

Please let us know if your still not understanding why this could be an
issue.

Thanks,
Rich

When boss sends out an email reminder about a due date he would definitely
mark it urgent as the boss would want the required people to see it in
priority. If the case was as what you explain then why would high priority
option be given while composing an email? If there is something important
for the group to see then anybody would mark it "High Importance".

Marking email as urgent or priority is for the recipient, not the
sender. When you send something out labeled thusly, it will show up
before things that the recipient might value as more of a priority, and
usually with a big red exclamation point, or other such marking.

You just don't mark something priority because it is a priority for you,
but something that should be a priority to your recipient. Like when the
boss sends out an email reminder about a due date and hasn't begun to
see any work yet!
