Hi All,

If you are mostly interested in making sure that people are aware of a new
vm, a message that says a new vm is available with release notes and a
method to update the vm would serve the same purpose.  A well placed red
(!) exclamation point is really all you need. The method to update the vm
could be as simple as taking the user to the download page (just like your
original email message in this thread).

All the best,

Ron Teitelbaum
