I have attempted using the assign task function and email
a task to a co-worker. When the co-worker receives the
email it shows up in their outlook like a regular email
with a text attachment. When trying to assign a task from
their computer via email to mine, I have the same problem.

Is there a setting I need to change in order to send and
receive tasks correctly? Or am I missing something,
because I do not get the accept or decline option when
opening the assigned task like the help files in Outlook
state.

Thanks

Make sure you haven't told Outlook to always send to that e-mail address in
Plain Text format (task requests must be sent in Rich Text format). To do
this, open the contact record for the person and double-click the e-mail
address...there should be a dropdown box which determines the sending
format.
