[imp] setting a mail priority on outgoing mails ?

[Oliver Thalmann]

Well,

it look like there is some "pseudo standard" for this priority tagging (at
least Netscape, Mozilla, Opera and "even" Outlook mail clients seem to agree
on this one)

it is a header line in the form :

X-Priority : <number> <(Text)>

where number and Text are linked (ie 2 terms for the same meaning) and mean
the following :

1 (Highest)
2 (High)
4 (Low)
5 (Lowest)

the string seems to be case independent (Mozilla puts it all in lowercase)

it is certainly not an RFC (anybody knows better ?), but imho, this system
seems "widely" adopted as an easy priority tagging

unfortunately, i am currently not able to write anything in PHP, as i didn't
yet have the time to look into this language, so if anybody else is willing to
do this modification, thanks your very much, else maybe i'll write it
somewhen...
