Sending an Urgent message is an extremely valuable feature included in PinkNotes® Plus. This feature allows the sender of a message to declare it Urgent by checking the "Urgent" Box in the new message window.

Urgent messages have several differences from Regular messages:

	Messages that appear right on the screen will be shown in a different color. The default color is Red with White text. But each user can individually select their color preference for an Urgent message.
	If the receiver of the message has their counter box enabled, the number of messages waiting to be read will appear as a 'flashing' Red number, instead of the usual 'steady' Black number (see above) or Orange number (indicating 'Must Acknowledge').
	If the user has selected to hear a sound when receiving a message (and the computer has this capability), an Urgent message will play a different sound than a Regular message. This sound is user selectable, using the default sound files provided or any compatible .wav file. If the recipient of an Urgent Message does not have a sound card, an Urgent message can be set to beep the computer's speaker a different number of times than a Regular message.
