VSTS/TFS 2008 Service Pack 1 - Nugget #1 (Send Selection in Mail)

Here is a first or many posts which highlights what the field "really likes" in the latest Service Pack for TFS 2008 and VSTS 2008.

Although this is a small feature, it has a huge impact in the field, allowing team leads to notify team members when creating or updating a work item.

A great nugget!
