cannot send/recive tasks, they open as .eml files

[Guest]

When i try to Send Tasks for assignment they get revived as .eml attachment
files and the receiver does not have the ability to Accept/decline. And also
the same happens for me when i receive task request on my computer. All three
computers in our office have Outlook 2003 and this feature use to work fine.

Thanks in advance...

What did you do/install/uninstall just prior to it not working anymore? And in what version of Outlook?

Hi Milly, Thanks for responding back. It is Outlook 2003 and as far as what
was installed/uninstalled prior to it working I'm not too sure ( i am just
helping out a local company with their computer problems). I kinda ruled that
out because it is doing it on all three computers.

..eml files indicate that Outlook Express is sending them which is impossible as OE does not include a tasks function.

I am getting same behavior. I am trying to send a Task from my company to
another company trough the internet. The person recieved my Task as a regular
email with all the Task info. If the person send me a Task same is recieved
in my side.

Are the Tasks able to be exchange between companies in the correct format?
