However, since you and others (including myself) have chosen to avail ourselves of programs that add such idiocies and do things like set sounds to respond to this stuff, here is what I teach all the people in my email classes to do: If you're on a mailing list and using Eudora Pro, set up a filter to identify messages that have To: or Cc: lines of thinkpad@cs.utk.edu and set it to LOWER the priority. If you're on a mailing list and using Eudora Light, either buy EPro or turn off alarms for priorities - you're putting yourself at the mercy of every chucklehead on the Internet who (a) doesn't understand priorities (b) has different priorities than you or (c) set it by accident. I am always reading in Comp.RISKS about mailers mis-identifying these custom headers used by other mailers. Relying on yours to not get borked by other headers in a mixed-platform enviornment like inet email is asking for trouble.
