The List Item Emailer Wizard, introduced in the Winter 2006 release of the Workplace Suite, is used to configure email notification directly in SharePoint. In the past, if you wanted to configure email notification, you would have had to access the List Item Emailer (LIE) web part in FrontPage to modify the properties and configure emails, then return to SharePoint.
With the LIE Wizard, all of the properties that were previously only accessible via FrontPage are now presented on a single administration screen (see List Item Emailer Wizard Properties). Lists and libraries are still email-enabled via FrontPage, but once that has been done and the list or library saved as a template, the new LIE Wizard keeps the process within SharePoint. You can place the LIE Wizard on a page and use it to configure email notification on all of your lists from a single location.
Once email notification has been configured, an email can be sent to the identified individual(s) each time an item in the email-enabled list is added or modified. The person who adds or modifies the list item has the option to send an email, define the content of the message, and specify who to send it to.
