Re: Failure Step notification question?

If the step is configured to build all failure steps and stop.

The steps I have grouped together are the following:
a) Log the FAILSTEP_OUTPUT to a text file.
b) Attach that text file to an e-mail with a message composed of the FAILSTEP_NAME and FAILSTEP_OUTPUT (these are the system macros).

What else could I add to it? I need this to be as informative as possible. I don't want to leave people wondering what exactly went wrong. I would appreciate your input. Thank you.
Sounds reasonable. Any additional information would probably be specific to your build process.
