Hi Peter,
without claiming being an expert org-mode user, I had the following

Why sending per email? Why not getting a free private(!) git repo (1GB)
at assembla.com and cooperatively work on one or several org file(s) in
that repo?

If you both work on the same file using git, the current state of
affairs will always be clear, as well as who did what at what time (and
pushed it to the repo).

When I have a TODO task in the agenda that I did not complete today, I
just change the date to tomorrow in the agenda using '>'.
If you don't do that, it will appear anyway in the agenda as overdue
task.
