Low Priority

All office emails are either unmarked or have the red exclamation point for high priority. The most unused option is the low priority button. In a world run by politics and big egos, nothing is ever low priority. In fact, the high priority button is used so often that it's really lost meaning. Most of the ones I get aren't really important at all. It's usually a salesperson just saying, "My work is the most important! It's all about me!" So I tend to put those aside based on the sender. I rarely use the high priority button unless it truly is high priority because I don't want to be the boy who cried "wolf." On occasion, I have used the low priority button. And oddly enough, that button gets a better response. When I send a message with that on, I tend to get an immediate response... the opposite effect. I think this is due to 2 factors. The icon stands out because it's very rare, so it's more likely to be noticed and not ignored. Also, because it's labeled as low priority, there's less pressure.
