I think the setting applies to Mail Messages and Tasks universally, so
if you change it for tasks, it means your mail is no longer going to
default to high priority either.

You didn't say what version of Outlook you are using.

In OL2007,
Tools>Options
E-mail Options button
Advanced E-mail Options button
2/3 down the Advanced E-mail Options dialog, change "Set importance:"
from High to Normal.
Click OKs thrice to close dialogs and you're good to go.

thank you for your help, it worked.
