OK.. I'm finally getting around to setting up my notifications on my SQL Server 2000 Instances..

What I did was setup xp_sendmail as a last step in my maintenance plan (on my test box) most of my maintenance plans are only one step (a full backup) so I manually added a step to the maintenance plan JOB and set Step 1 to go to step 2 upon failure. It works GREAT !!!! However, SQL Server ENT Manager does complain a little when I look at the maintenance plan propertie. It complains about not liking the fact that I manually added a step.

Does anyone see anything inherently wrong with this???????

Nah, it's just to remind you.
Or you may want to use the Notifications tab in the job.
