how to send a new task via SMTP to outlook

[Guest]

Hi,

I'm searching for a way to send a outlook task via SMTP.

We are using a planning tool I wrote in PHP. It is installed on a Linux
machine using Apache, PHP and MySQL.
I'm able to send e-mails from the cripts, but need to be able to send a new
task from this script to an outlook/exchange mailbox. This task should be
displayed in the task list of the receiver.

Is there a way to do this and if yes, can anybody give me some hints/tricks
to solve this problem?

Tasks must be sent in Outlook Rich Text format in order to show up as a
task. Unless your app supports RTF, you cannot do this.
