Being volatile has nothing to do with it vapourising easily, it vapourises or turns to gas easily because it has a low boiling point.

are you sure?? sounds like you have said the same thing three times 
volatility is the measure of how volatile something is.
if something is volatile, it readily vapourises.
this is not necessarily because it has a low boiling point, but more to do with having a high vapour pressure..
and vapour pressure increases as temperature gets closer to the boiling point....
metals have low volatility, but take them into space (with low temps) and you have to worrry about metal loss from evaporation

 The T knows what he's talking about! Not only does he spend much time with solvents in organic chemistry, but he's currently studying for fluid dynamics exam in the morning, so I better hope my definitions are up to scratch! 
Corona, it sounds like you have been instilled with the common misconception that volatility is the flash point. But maybe not. I dunno. Doesn't matter really 'cos now ya know
