SUMMARY
In versions 3.0b and 3.2 of Microsoft Mail for Windows, a return receipt is marked and handled as a high-priority mail message, regardless of the actual priority set for that message. This is designed to match the way the MS-DOS workstation handles registered mail.

To translate between the two clients:   MS-DOS priority    -> Windows priority -

1                    Low 2                    Normal 3                    Normal 4                    High 5                    High R                    High, with Return Receipt Windows priority  ->   MS-DOS priority -

Low                     1 Normal                  3 High                    4 or 5 (see ** below) Return Receipt          R There is no way to distinguish between a message with high priority and a message with a return receipt in the Windows client. Both messages appear with an exclamation point (!) to the left of the icon in the From: heading.


 * The Windows client high priority is 5 if the user has been given urgent privileges through the Mail Administrator program; otherwise, it is 4.
