How to assign a Task WITHOUT Exchange

[rgsiii]

We are using Outlook 2003 WITHOUT Exchange.

I need to assign Tasks to another user.
We do NOT have a Exchange server, and NO, installing one is not an
option.

When I assign calendar entries to them, all works perfect. They show
up on the other side with accept/reject buttons and get added correctly
to the their calendar.

HOWEVER :-(
When I do the same thing with a Task, the only thing that shows up on
the other side is a plain vanilla email with task information in the
body. It is NOT a real Task and does not contain the Accept/Decline
buttons. It is just a plain email.

I have made sure that the recipients are being sent html/rtf emails and
not plain text.

why do appointments work, but tasks don't?
How can I send Tasks and have them arrive as Tasks on the other end?

THANKS,
Robert

Were you able to resolve this problem? We are having the same issues
and uninstalling KB892843 did not help.
