As you >pointed out, sendmail includes quite a few extensions to RFC 822. In that case, check out RFC 1148 "Mapping between X.400(1988)/ISO10021 and RFC 822". It lists a bunch of RFC 822 style headers that should be used to map X.400 elements into the RFC 822 world. One of them is "Priority:", with the possible values of "normal", "non-urgent", "urgent" and an escape value consisting of a decimal number. There is also an "Importance:" header with the possible values of "low", "normal", "high" and an escape value consisting of a decimal number. Disclaimer: This information actually came from RFC 987, which was later ammended by RFC 1026, then obsoleted by RFC 1138, which was then obsoleted by RFC 1148. It is possible the information above is no longer correct. Check RFC 1148 before you bet the farm on this. -- Matthew Costello +1 619 485 2926 uunet!ncrlnk!ncr-sd!mattc
