In Elm, how do I mark a message I'm sending as urgent?

Note: The software discussed here is no longer in common use at Indiana University, and UITS may no longer be able to verify the document's accuracy. The UITS Support Center may no longer have the manuals and other materials required to support this software adequately.

Note: Elm is not available on any UITS systems.

In Elm, you can mark a message that you are sending as urgent. To do so, after leaving the editor but before sending the message, press  h  for Headers,  p  for Priority, and then  u  for Urgent. You can then send the message by pressing  s .

Messages that are marked urgent will show up in your mail folder marked with a "U", and a line noting their urgent status will be shown when the contents of the message are displayed.
