    We use Microsoft Outlook heavy at school but our backed is CentOS. I
    use echo "Foo" | mail -s "subject" addr@xxxxxxx a lot. Is it possible
    to change the priority to High so Outlook will understand it? The
    priority meaning the email will be sent to the normal email queue but
    on Outlook it would have the exclamation point.


man mail will show you how to change the priority, sender, and much more :)


  $ man mail | grep -i priority | wc -l
  0
  $ rpm -q centos-release
  centos-release-5-2.el5.centos.x86_64

Actually, I think MS LookOut expects some header line indicating the
priority.  But added an arbitary header line is not possible using mail
(or mailx).  To add the required header, you would need to format
the whole mail message, including all the standard required headers,
plus the header line indicating a priority for displaying an exclamation
mark in MS LookOut, and then sending that message of using "sendmail"
itself.
Or you could use some perl/python/php/ruby script that does all this
for you.

Mail/mailx/mail cannot add the header.
But I'm open to learn something new...
