more granularity for the priority of the messages

That bug has been opened on https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/67682 "hi, users in my company asked me how to set the priority of outgoing messages. I've show them the option when composing a new message "insert -> 'prioriser' the message"... They would like to have more options : "very hi/hi/normal/low/very low" like thunderbird. Regards Mathieu"
I agree with original request - you want at least 3 levels of priority - Low, Normal, and High. Currently you can do 2 of those 3 levels, with "Low" being the missing one. I was going to log a new bug for this, but saw this one, and it's closely related I think, and so will instead include the details here: ------------------------------- Evolution: Cannot see a way to mark my outgoing email as low priority When mailing friends jokes or amusing items, previously I would always mark the item as "low priority" to indicate that the item does not require them to do anything, and that I don't expect a response, and that they can ignore it until they have some quiet time. However, now that I am trying Evolution 2.22.3.1, I cannot see a way to mark an item as "Low Priority". I can see a way to mark a message as high priority (File -> new -> Mail message, then Insert -> prioritize message), but I cannot see a way to do the opposite, and explicitly say "this message is NOT important". Is there a way to do this, and if not, can it be added please? -------------------------------
Currently no plans to change the current behavior. Evolution team thinks that it is up to the recipient to define what's high or low priority.
