I noticed that sendmail 5.61 specifies a grade of "C" for mail sent
via the standard uucp mailer. B news does not specify a grade, so
gets the uux default of "A". Is there a good reason for giving news a
better grade than mail? Considering that my ancient version of UUCP
uses the grade only to determine the order of transmission (I can't
restrict the grades sent during any given call) does it really make a
difference?
Followups to comp.mail.uucp, or e-mail and I'll summarize. Thanks.

The answers I got were:
(1) use grade "d" for news
(2) an important reason for sending mail with a better grade than news
is to allow mail about a backed-up news feed to get through in a
timely fashon
