VSTS Team Build Mail notification should include the "associateChangeSets"

Question

Team Build Guru's

I am looking for "Associated ChangeSets" list included in the build mail notifications

say, by default we get a build notification like this,

Team Project:   Content Server
Build Number:   MerchantPortal_1.0.0707.69
Build Agent:    \Content Server\MerchantPortalBuildBox
Build Definition:   \Content Server\MerchantPortal QA
Build started by:   ENETDOM\jrichter
Build Start Time:   7/7/2009 8:25:30 AM
Build Finish Time:  7/7/2009 8:30:49 AM

Notes: 
- All dates and times are shown in GMT -05:00:00 Central Daylight Time
- You are receiving this notification because of a subscription created by ENETDOM\enbuild
Provided by Microsoft Visual Studio® Team System 2008

What I really would like is an email containing the changes. So the user does NOT have to click an URL to retrieve the list of changes. So... I would the mail to look something like this instead:

Team Project:   Content Server
Build Number:   MerchantPortal_1.0.0707.69
Build Agent:    \Content Server\MerchantPortalBuildBox
Build Definition:   \Content Server\MerchantPortal QA
Build started by:   ENETDOM\enbuild
Build Start Time:   7/7/2009 8:25:30 AM
Build Finish Time:  7/7/2009 8:30:49 AM

Answer 1

There is no configuration option I know of that allows this.

If you have access to the server, I think there's a way to write custom code which hooks into the event system on the server and you could build your own email format. But it would be a lot of work I think.

I agree it's frustrating that there's no way to customise the email content.
