# Demonstrates how to send high-priority e-mail
# Setting the priority of an email is simply a matter
# of setting the X-Priority header field.
# Values of 1 through 5 are acceptable, with 1 being the
# highest priority, 3 = normal, and 5 = lowest priority.

# If your SMTP server requires a authentication, set username/password
# mailman.put_SmtpUsername("***")
# mailman.put_SmtpPassword("***")

# Create an e-mail object
