uucp supports a priority system - think its referred to as "grades" and
the normal range is A-Za-z (highest to lowest IIRC).  Standard uucp
commands (rmail/rnews etc) will assign a default grade. There's an info
document describing Taylor uucp on your system (can't remember exactly
where at the moment sorry :-() which might explain more about grades.
Otherwise find yourself a copy of the O'Reilly book that covers uucp.

I've used uucp for a number of years, but have never needed to deal with
grades thankfully.
