It's
Always Important
Are you one of those
people who e-mail very little and when you do, you mark more of them with
a High Propriety status than not?
Ever wish you could
change MS Outlook to use that High Importance setting as your default,
leaving you to change the priority downward for the few that do go out
without it?
If that's you (I know
it's not everyone, but I'd bet there's a few of you), let's take a quick
look at Outlook's settings in this area.
In Outlook, you need
the Tools menu, Options choice.
On the Preferences
tab, you're looking for the E-mail Options button.

In the E-mail Options
window, you need the Advanced E-mail Options button.

It's here, in the
Advanced E-mail Options window, that you need to locate the section with
sending e-mail options.

In the Set
Importance field, use the pull down list to change the default
setting to High (or Low or Normal, whatever you need).
Now, click OK
until you've backed out of the options.
That's it! At this
point, every new e-mail you send will be marked with a high priority,
by default.
Of course, you now
have to remember to turn it off when it's not needed, but hopefully you're
saving time with the priority set this way. After all, that was the point
of making the change, wasn't it?!
