Summary0021830: Remove $g_mail_priority configuration option to reduce spam risk
Description

There are several issues with this configuration option:

  1. It is not a common practice for services sending emails to set such priority.
  2. As per the documentation for this config option, 0 should disable it, but it doesn't.
  3. It increases the spam score for some email, specially password reset.

This is follow up work to 0021829 that fixed handling for case where configuration option was disabled and having it disabled by default. The work in this issue is to completely remove this feature and mark the config option as obsolete.

TagsNo tags attached.
