read receipt for a task assignment?

[karen roberts]

I am having a problem in my office with task assignments. Sometimes they
never make it to the assignee (or get deleted somehow). I assign them, and
my task list shows that I assigned the task and that the assignee (or new
"owner") has not responded yet. But the task assignee does not seem to have
received the assignment at all. I don't know why this occurs. I can't find
a way to receive a read receipt or delivery receipt for a task. There is also
no way for me to "resend" the task when I find out that it was never
received. I can forward it, but the task cannot be accepted through this
means. I have to make a new task and assign it again. Does anyone have any
comments or advice?

You can't ask for RR on tasks. The admin should be able to see where the
task requests are going.

to make it easier to resend, open the task and make an unassigned copy then
assign that copy.
