int SetMessagePriority(int iMessagePriority);

Remarks

When sending a message, this property will tell the server what type of priority to assign to the message. The effect of the message priority setting is dependent upon the Message Center manufacturer and the network on which the target recipient lies. For example, some MCs may immediately forward "urgent" messages, some networks may use the priority setting as a visual indicator of the message's urgency (e.g. blinking icons, etc.), and some networks may entirely ignore the priority setting.
