Cisco Security Manager question

Does anyone know when CSM version 4.4 will be out and will the functionality ever exist where the CSM can send an email alert if a high or medium signature gets triggered. The IPS Manager Express (IME) has this function but the CSM currently does not. Currently I am using both the CSM and IME, one for email alerting (IME) and the other for updating our IPS's and for monitoring. Ideally I would like to do away with the IME.

I too am waiting for such a functionality.

In the meantime I have created a custom event filter that triggers on severity 60 and higher - this sets an 'snmp alert' action. The IPS itself forward an SNMP trap to an NMS and I convert it to email at that point.

It's not very sophisticated but it does let me get alerts with some information in an automated fashion.

That is the only way I have found to be able to do it too.
