Sending a TO-DO List item from C#

[mc]

I would like to be able to send, from an ASP.NET page, an email which when recieved takes the form
of a TO-DO list item.

Can this functionality be emulated from sending an email from C#?

I've read that Ootlook 2007 doesn't support the vTODO standard, is there an alternative?


TIA

MC,

In this case, most of the work will be in an add-in for outlook, which
will attach to the new mail event (I forget what it is called) and then
processing the email and most likely inserting an item in the task list.

Fully agree with Nicholas this will be too much work. However if it
is that people have to share "to do lists"

Why not implimeting something similiar like @ http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/todoapp.asp

Contains a web based app that will manage that

It can also be done in an Exchange message filter, which makes it easier
to maintain, but more critical to do it right . You still have to
implement it yourself, but it is then done on the mailserver instead of
on the client. So you won't need to update each and every client. You
might even want to implement the vTodo standard in this way.

I don't think Nicholas said it would be too much work, I think begining developmewnt on another new
application would be too much work!

The reason I'm after an integrated outlook solution is because my users are famillar with the
process of setting each other Tasks I would now like to issue tasks centrally as a result of a user
filling out a web form.

Can you recomend any sites that would get me up to speed with writing a new Message filter?

Would rather not have to install extra functionality into exchange. was hoping there was a message
format that Outlook would understand?
