Setting Priority in email

[DenverMarc]

Hi everyone,

I have an asp page that generates an automatic email. Is it possible to tag the email as "high priority"? Everyone recieving the email is using MS Outlook. Here's the code:

<%
   Set Mail = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message")
   Mail.From = request("SupportUser")
   Mail.To = request("assigned") 
   Mail.CC = RSInfo("SupportManagerEmail")
   Mail.Subject = "DM2 Support - Ticket Reassigned" 
   Msg = "Ticket # " & RSInfo("SupportID") & " concerning Product Mag Code " & RSInfo("MagCode") & Chr(10)
   Msg = Msg & "has been reassigned to " & RSInfo("SupportAssigned") & ". You do not need to work it." & Chr(10)
   Mail.TextBody = Msg
   Mail.Send
   Set Mail = Nothing
%>

Thanks,

Marc

Try this:

Mail.Fields("urn:schemas:httpmail:importance").Value = 1

Hi Damber,

Thanks for the reply. Is there a particular spot I should place this? I added it first after "Mail.To" and then before "Mail.Send" and after "Mail.Send". I didn't get any error messages but the email was not marked in any way for priority.

Thanks,

Marc

Does anyone have another idea?

Thanks,

When using CDONTS to send mail the priority codes are

0=Low
1=Normal
2=High

So you could try

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

Thanks, but still no luck. Again, I didn't get any error messages but the email was not flagged as high importance.

Is it something different with CDO vs CDONT?

Thanks,

Marc

Think I've got it. Before sending do

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

This will update the fields collection with the new value.

That worked! Thanks so much.
