Task status does not update automatically from remote sender

J

John Phillips

In Outlook 2003 after a task is assigned, the user completes the task. I get
an e-mail that the task is complete but the task itself does not update with
the status. How ca I get the task to update automatically?

Is the person to whom the talk assigned (and presumably outside of your
exchange org) replying using Rich Text Format? It is required for updating
the talk on your machine.

Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact. All
unsolicited mail sent to my personal account will be deleted without
reading.

I will try the rich text. The person replying is part of our company and on
the same e-mail server.
Thanks for your help.

And you know I meant task, right? Dyslexic fingers may be the next medical malady.
