Greetings,
My team uses Outlook (2003)'s assigned tasks to manage our workload.
The boss creates the initial task and gets updates whenever we make
changes, and has a 'living' task list on his desktop.
I've been working on the ability to add additional recipients to the
status updates, to keep additional folks informed. With the help of
Dmitry's Redemption library, I've been able to write a VB.NET
application to add or remove 'update' or 'completion' recipients to
assigned tasks. It's a standalone app right now, but eventually I hope
to retool the functionality into a COM add-in, but that's another post.
What I'd like to do is to add status recipients to an "unassigned"
task, that is, a task that I created myself in my own list. Normally
these tasks don't send any mail, and the "update list" on the details
tab in OL2003 is read-only. Simply adding folks as CC or BCC to the
Recipients collection using my existing tool doesn't work - there must
be some other property that signifies that mail is to be sent.
Hints? Thanks in advance....
