need help: how to send email with HIGH priority in shell scripts?
Hello,

I know that mail or sendmail can be used to send email in a shell script.
Is there any way I can set the priority of emails to send to HIGH?

The reason why I want that is because my mobile email sends instant alert SMS's only for incoming emails with HIGH priority.

This sends me high priority e-mails:

Code:
#  cat >> ${TMPFILE} << EOF
To:${ADMIN_EMAIL}
From:carls@`hostname`
Subject:metastat results ${DATE}
Importance:High

Results of `hostname`:${SCRIPT}

EOF

sendmail -t < ${TMPFILE}
