SEP11 and Custom Notification Emails

From a thread at the Symantec Forums, it looks like Symantec has left out a critical component of admin virus alerts.

I like to receive emailed virus alerts when clients computers detect a virus. Waiting for me to open SEPM and look in the console or waiting for the user to mention it is not an option. While SEP11 has email virus alerts functionality, it cannot be customized. Their email is not as useful as it should be because it does not include the file path or filename.

If anyone knows of a way to do this let me know.
