In Compose window Priority menu, and Filter U.I., and Search U.I., ..., there is no item for "None".
Yet, "None" is the default value "used" to send (or receive) message without the X-Priority header.

Then, I suggest to add a "None" value, as the default, to these lists.

This is both:
*a bugfix, as it would add consistency, at least to the compose window;
*an enhancement, as it would allow to "unselect" a priority when composing, and filter/search for messages without priority.

I filed this under "Mailnews: Composition", but it applies to "Filter" and "Search" too.

No. In the absence of an explicit X-Priority header, the assumed default is "Normal". Actually, you should not _send_ Normal at all, but leave the header out in that case. You have to recognize it, though.

No - why should this add consistency? There's no priority value "None".

No - to reset, just choose "Normal".
