I don't know how it's represented underneath in the SMTP headers, but
the feature I referred to DOES allow the sender to mark the message as
important (using Insert->Prioritize Message).  You don't get to give it
a discrete level from 1 to 5; it's either "important" or "normal".

But, if the SENDER marks it this way, when the recipient gets it it's
marked with the extra "exclamation point" icon and the summary line is
in red.
