Create custom email header: importance

[Valor1]

I'd like to create a custom email header for the "importance" flag in Outlook.

After much digging, it looks like I need to do the following, but I can't figure out how to view / modify the string
1) Edit the "Header" string in the sys_email table to first get the importance header to be recognized as such,
2) and then create a corresponding "importance" column in the same table.

Any pointers?

The setHeader() method does not appear to exist in the email object. Tests in our instance show no effect.

I also need to know how to do this. Did anyone figure out how?

I recently added options to email notifications to set high/low importance and include actual file attachments from the record. Unfortunately it didn't make the winter release, but will be in Winter 2011 Stable 1.

John, Could this be added to the Workflow Notification Activity as well? I tried adding a sting variable matching the dictionary record hoping some magic would happen, but that did not work. Thanks -Bill

Sounds feasible. You can submit an enhancement request in hi for it. Until then you can use the event activity instead so you can leverage standard email notifications.
