When I add a bug (Work Item) in TFS, and assign it to a user, I want an email sent to that user.
Also if an existing bug has the "Assigned To" changed, I want that user to get an email. Is it possible to send Alerts to users when they're assigned changed bugs in TFS 2008?
In VS 2005 at least, on the Team
menu you will find a Project Alerts...
item which allows users to specify an email address that will be notified when My work items are changed by others
, which covers both the situations you mention. I imagine VS 2008 will have a similar thing.
