What properties are represented on a task item by the check boxes labelled
"Keep an updated copy of this task on my task list" and "Send me a status
report when this task is complete"? I would like to ensure that these are
always checked, but I can't figure out how to reference them.

There are a few properties that can control where things get updated.
Check out StatusOnCompletionRecipients, StatusUpdateRecipients,
TeamTask, Owner and Ownership.

I am manipulating the two Recipients fields, but that's a different issue.
What I need to understand and control is those two check boxes. Is there no
property corresponding to them? The PropertyChange event does not fire when
they are selected or de-selected, so how does Outlook use them?

I'm beginning to suspect that these two properties are either available only
through the CDO Fields collection (and the IDs are undocumented) or they're
static and therefore aren't really properties at all -- just control values
that affect the behavior of the outgoing TaskItem.

I've also never found those checkboxes as actual properties, but you
can control things anyway with the available properties in code.

OK, I can see that explaining the reason for the question might be helpful.

My modified task item is created in the default Tasks folder of my
application's mailbox -- NOT in the user's Tasks folder. There is no need
for the user's mailbox to have a copy of the task and receive its updates
(though this would be nice), but the application's mailbox must. My code
ensures that the application's mailbox is added to the item's
StatusOnCompletionRecipients and StatusUpdateRecipients collections.

I get the desired results IF those two check boxes are checked; otherwise, I
do not. I suspect that, somehow, those two collections are cleared when the
item is sent if the boxes aren't checked. Do you agree?

In any case, do you see a way that I can guarantee the desired result?
