Yes, you need to change the outgoing mail command. If you are using the
default "mail" command, add a new entry to commands.cfg which is the
same, but has

printf .....|mail -a "Priority: Urgent" -a "Importance: high" -a
"X-Priority: 1" -s subject contact
Instead of 
printf .....|mail -s subject contact

As to what the blackberry does with an urgent email, that's another
matter.

If you use a different mailing system (mailx for example), you need to
add the Priority headers.
