I can choose the Priority, like "highest", but that word doesn't appear on the Sent email. It also doesn't appear on the test email I sent to myself with that Priority setting.

I think it depends on the recipient's email software, and if it reads the X-Priority header that TB adds (check the message Source, Ctrl+U).

It will show in the Priority column if you enable it; right-click any column button, such as Subject, Date, to choose the columns.

Fantastic answer. But, will another recipient generally know the priority if he or she hasn't enabled that?
