Is there a tool that will allow me to send an email (preferably via Outlook) to all the members of a TFS project?
It could be an Outlook add-in or a plug-in for Visual Studio that might for example add a menu item to the context menu in the Team Explorer when you right-click on a project.
This is not for TFS Alerts, but rather so that I can then compose a custom email to appropriate team members. (In my scenario I can’t rely on an email group in Active Directory for this)
One option I’ve found – use the “Team Members” tool (part of the TFS 2010 Power Tools).
Whilst you can’t just right-click on the ‘Team Members’ node in Team Explorer, you can select one (or more) users, then while they are selected you can right-click and choose ‘Send Email’ which launches a new email (in Outlook for me) with the selected users in the ‘To’ field.
