Powershell removal of snapshots

Checking for snapshots, using powershell. 

connect-viserver <vCenter_ServerName>
get-vm | get-snapshot | select VM, PowerState, Name, Description, SizeMB, Created

--it produces this report--


VM          : VMName
PowerState  : PoweredOff
Name        : Post SQL Install
Description :
SizeMB      : 0.03
Created     : 6/23/2011 10:09:16 AM

Next, the removal process 

get-vm | get-snapshot | where {$_.SizeMB -gt 1024} | Remove-Snapshot -confirm:$false

This removes snapshots larger than 1 GB in size without confirming each removal.  Now to put it all together along with an email stating the snapshots that were removed.
