Name

Importance — objNewMail . Importance = intPriority

Synopsis

An integer value that allows you to set the mail message's priority, which is used by the mail messaging system to schedule delivery of mail.

Parameters

intPriority

An integer that can contain any of the following CDO constants:

CdoLow (0)

Low. Schedule delivery during off-hours or times of low system use.

CdoNormal (1)

Normal. Schedule delivery during regular delivery schedules for normal messages.

CdoHigh (2)

High. Attempt to deliver immediately.

Example

<%

' Dimension local variables.
Dim objNewMail

' Instantiate a NewMail object.
Set objNewMail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")

' Set the body string for the message.
objNewMail.Body = _
   "Wow, this message takes just a few lines of code."

' Set the importance for the message to high.
objNewMail.Importance = cdoHigh

' Send the message. For details about the Send method,
' see that section in this chapter.
objNewMail.Send "me@here.com","you@there.com", _
   "This is the subject",,cdoHigh

%>

Notes

If you do not set the Importance property, normal priority is assumed. If you set the Importance property explicitly, then later use the Importance argument in your call to the Send method, the second value (the argument to Send) is used and the earlier setting is ignored.

The underlying mail messaging system must support this feature or it is ignored.

Finally, you have no way of ascertaining how the recipient's mail messaging system will handle your priority settings.
