Hi,

I have been going through Google in order to find a way to set the importance level on my sendmail script but have had no luck. I thought it was as simple as this

.From = "blah@blah.com"
.To = Request("sendto")
.Subject = "Subject"
.TextBody = Request("body")
.Importance = 2
.Send()

But that does not seem to work. Any ideas?

Thanks,
James

I'm assuming you're using CDO for your mail send.

Try this:

.Fields("urn:schemas:httpmail:importance").Value = 2

Thanks. That did work but it does not seem to deliver to any email addy any quicker.. but thatnk again for your help.

that isn't what the "importance" header does.

It's used at the mail client to mark a message as important.

Mail marked with Importance high does not mean that it will be sent on priority. SMTP server will not process based on it. If that is there, then it is a boon. ( I wish I had this option on my SMTP Server. )

It is for the user to check that message on priority, i.e. the mail client will/can display the message to the user which is flagged as high importance on a priority basis.

Ok thanks people. That helped a lot and is all working fine now.
