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?

+2  A: 

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.

just checked and VS2008 does indeed have the same dialog, although the alert options appear to be limited to "my work items are changed by others", "anything is checked in", "a build quality changes" and "a build completes".
