E-Mail Notifications to Task Owners Within Quality Section

Currently, when you create a new task against an individual within the Quality Section, the individual does not receive an e-mail notifying them that a task has been placed against them. Therefore they don't know they have a task to complete.

The only e-mail they receive is a reminder when the task is due to be completed. This causes confusion as they were not notified in the first instance they had a task assigned to them.

Is it possible to have an e-mail tick box inserted on the page, so when ticked they will receive an e-mail in the first instance?
