set Flag "importance" in mail -s

[hlyeoh]

Does anyone know how to set flag "importance" when using mail -s "meeting" abc@outlook.com < meeting.notice? The importance flag is expected to be able to highlight the importance of the email when I read from outlook inbox.

thanx

hlyeoh,

I don't know if there is a command for Importance, however you can have commands for the mail program at the top of the input file (meeting.notice in this case). An example is setting the reply to address and subject

Reply-To:me@me.co.uk
Subject:set the subject

I would google on mail and these settings and see what other options might be available.

Hi, i have tried to find the solution and this is how i have done it and just to share with you and those that might need it.

unix provide a useful feature which is /usr/lib/sendmail

echo "To:$email" > mesg
echo "Subject: >> mesg
echo "Content-Type: text/plain" >> mesg
echo "X-Priority: 1 (Highest)" >> mesg
echo "X-MSMail-Priority: High" >> mesg

/usr/lib/sendmail -t < mesg
