Share Work Item (Team Explorer Everywhere)
With Team Explorer Everywhere, you can use any e-mail client to compose a message, and you can build a hyperlink to a work item and post the hyperlink on a Web page or send in an e-mail message. You can use another Team Foundation client, such as Team Web Access or Team Explorer, to send the details of one or more bugs, tasks, or other types of work item in an e-mail message. For more information, see Share Work Items.
Required Permissions
To perform these procedures, you must be a member of the Readers group or your View work items in this node permission must be set to Allow. For more information, see Team Foundation Server Permissions.
