A little more information for Evolution developers.

Just received an email from someone with the Microsoft Exchange
V6.0.5762.3 client.  It sets the following headers:
X-Priority: 1
Priority: Urgent
Importance: high

So, using "Importance:" will make you Outlook2k and Exchange compatible.

Had a friend try to send an urgent/priority message from AOL.  He said
he couldn't find a way to mark it high priority.
