To get message's priority/importance/etc, you can use GetHeader method of the Message object:

priority = Message.GetHeader("X-Priority")
ms_priority = Message.GetHeader("X-MSMail-Priority")
importance = Message.GetHeader("Importance")

To trigger an event of the message being read, add "Disposition-Notification-To" header to the message.

SMTP.Message.ToAddr = "to@domain.com"
SMTP.Message.FromAddr = "from@domain.com"
SMTP.Message.AddHeader "Disposition-Notification-To", "from@domain.com"
...
SMTP.Send

The recipient will be prompted to send Reading confirmation when he/she opens the message.

However, the recipient's mail software must support this sort of functionality. Most popular mail clients do but there is no 100% guarantee.

I don't think it's possible because it would violate reader's privacy. What if I (reader of the message) do not want to send out any read confirmation? I should be able to decide this myself. For instance, if there was a way to send out confirmation automatically, spammers would use it for detecting live email addresses.

Regards,
Alex
