SYMPTOMS
========
If you compose a mail message using version 3.0b or 3.2 of Microsoft Mail for
Windows or version 3.0 or 3.2 of Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, MS-DOS
workstation, and you mark the message with the Return Receipt option, the
message will also have a priority of High when viewed by the Windows client.
This will happen regardless of what priority setting you originally intended or
set.
CAUSE
=====
This feature is by design. Originally, there was a problem with the Windows
client when a user sent a mail message with both High Priority and Return
Receipt.
The high priority would be stripped from the message. A mail recipient would
receive this message and not know it was supposed to have a high priority in
addition to the Return Receipt (which always showed up). In such a case, a mail
recipient might ignore important mail messages without realizing it.
