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.

Selecting any of the links on the email opens the relevant work item in the browser.

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!
