In that case, check out RFC 1148 "Mapping between X.400(1988)/ISO10021
and RFC 822".  It lists a bunch of RFC 822 style headers that should be used
to map X.400 elements into the RFC 822 world.  One of them is "Priority:",
with the possible values of "normal", "non-urgent", "urgent" and an escape
value consisting of a decimal number.

There is also an "Importance:" header with the possible values of "low",
"normal", "high" and an escape value consisting of a decimal number.

Disclaimer: This information actually came from RFC 987, which was later
            ammended by RFC 1026, then obsoleted by RFC 1138, which was
            then obsoleted by RFC 1148.  It is possible the information
            above is no longer correct.  Check RFC 1148 before you bet the
            farm on this.
