Using workflow, can I trigger an email to be sent when Lead ownership changes?

Because of the way we use Leads, Sales has asked that they be notified when someone else takes ownership of a record.  I thought I could do this using workflow but I don't see a way to test for it.  I need to know that the lead ownership has changed and who it used to be so I can notify the previous user.  Any ideas?

With the Summer 07 release, you can trigger workflow actions based on criteria defined in the Formula Editor.  So you would use the ISCHANGED() function on the owner of the lead to fire the workflow.

Hope this helps.

Excellent.  I hadn't thought to look at the new features to see if one applied to this situation.  Thx.
