One of the new features of Server 2008 is the ability to attach a task to a specific event in the event logs. One of the actions available is to send an email through a SMTP server.

This is working great, however it would be ideal if in the message body, the Event contents could be placed. I have tried using $eventdescription and %eventdescription%, but those are just shots in the dark. Any amount of googling produces no results.

Does anyone know if this is possible?

Update: Sparks' suggestion below is a step in the right direction I believe, however that method doesn't seem to work for all values. For example, I can pull the RecordID, Severity and Channel as shown, but I can't use the same method to retreive the EventID, or most importantly the description.

Here's the raw XML from one event:

[Event xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/win/2004/08/events/event"]

    [Provider Name="DFSR" /]

I have tried using a ValueQuery for EventData, but it returns no data.
