    Prefix of Normal Priority Message

    Type the text to appear before a normal-priority message. For example, you might want the letter N to appear before a normal-priority message to indicate it is a normal-priority message. A letter is useful if you have difficulty distinguishing the colors of these messages. This field applies to the notification panes.

    For HTML messages, instead of entering <N>, enter &lt;N&gt; because applications do not recognize the less than character (<) and the greater than character (>).

    Prefix of High Priority Message

    Type the text to appear before a high-priority message. For example, you might want the letter H to appear before a high-priority message to indicate it is a high-priority message. A letter is useful if you have difficulty distinguishing the colors of these messages. This field applies to the notification panes.

    For HTML messages, instead of entering <H>, enter &lt;H&gt; because applications do not recognize the less than character (<) and the greater than character (>).

    Prefix of Urgent Priority Message

    Type the text to appear before an urgent-priority message. For example, you might want the letter U to appear before an urgent message to indicate it is an urgent message. A letter is useful if you have difficulty distinguishing the colors of these messages. This field applies to the notification panes.

    For HTML messages, instead of entering <U>, enter &lt;U&gt; because applications does not recognize the less than character (<) and the greater than character (>).
