Remarks

SQL Server Agent builds a notification message to send in response to a raised alert. For each notification method (e-mail, pager, or net send SQL Server Agent can build a different message. To include alert error text in a SQL Server Agent-built message, set the IncludeEventDescription property of the referring Alert object.

To specify that more than one notification method should include error text, combine values by using an OR logical operator.
