Hrm. The header Priority has values "normal", "urgent" and "non-urgent". I can't find any RFC that defines the values of "X-Priority", but most examples I see use the values 1 through 5. While this maps up to Redmine's default priority values, other systems might have limited or extended these enumerations (e.g. my company uses "Low, Normal and Emergency". How would these modified values be mapped to X-Priority? 1, 3, 5? It's kinda vague, yeah?
I guess that's why I thought just creating a Redmine-specific priority header would be a better choice. What're your thoughts on this?

An other problem is that a X-Priority of 1 means urgent, whereas Redmine priorities are sorted in opposite order (1 = low).
We need to map Redmine priorities (max => 1, min => 5). Just need to retrieve the total numbers of priorities defined in Redmine.
So yes, if you have 3 priorities defined in Redmine, they would be mapped to X-Priority 1, 3 and 5.

Other solution might be an extra field when defining priorities where you can choose x-priority manually for each priority. This might include an option not to send email for some priorities.

I'd really prefer not to add an extra field just for this purpose.
Is there any problem with the solution I propose?

Hrm. Yeah. Let's say we have two Redmine instances: one has priorities deferrable and normal, the other has priorities normal and emergency. How would you propose those two instances would be mapped? I don't see a way of automating this to ensure that any set of customized priorities get mapped properly to the X-Priority header. I guess that's why I suggested a Redmine-specific header.

Guys what's left to do here? Can we have X-Redmine-Priority field at least and leave a question if we need standard Priority field and mapping for better times?

I found that it is not appropriate to use the Priority header to express issue priorities because the header is related to QoS control of mail delivery. RFC2076 says the header "can influence transmission speed and delivery".
Since issue priority has nothing to do with mail delivery priority, it is wrong to use the Priority header to express issue priority.
