Add "Re-send Email" for an Alert
Some emails find black holes. Need option in the "Actions" dropdown to re-send an Alert email. Please pop-up the addressee dialog so we can direct/redirect to recipient list and add a custom subject to help us segregate the email into an email thread for discussion/attention.
Version 9.0.7 has now been released and adds the ability to manually send an alert as an email notification to any addressee.
We will mark this as completed, but please do raise a suggestion if you would like to see further improvements.
Thanks for your patience,
SQL Monitor Development Team

It looks like this is identical to my suggestion.
I really need this too.

And again - STILL NEED THIS.
Need to route a Job Failure to heighten attention on it because it's failing to report the status of the overnight raft of tasks, which is pretty serious.
Copy-paste content, or snag the URL and hope the recipient remembers their SQM login seem so 20th Century.
Can a "Send Mail" request be implemented, please...? Seems like low-hanging fruit...

Sometimes when browsing alerts, there is a need to forward the alert to another user or group. While doing so can be done from an email client (if the given alert is configured to go to email), it would be nice to be able to have a button to send email for a specific alert on the fly.

Still need this! After Kendra's SQL Pass session, and the fact that we don't automatically every Alert, communicating a Deadlock with collateral is very important. The recipient wouldn't usually be the DBA's but the team responsible the facet experiencing the issue. As it is, the screen doesn't lend itself to being snipped, if you don't have SnagIt,which means that important information cannot easily be disseminated.
