sure - it's not terribly hard to make software send an
an email message. :)

for the sake of argument, lets see where the need would
come from - i want to pay someone, but i don't know
their email address. also this someone does not have a
web page set up to accept the payment. so when i pay
them, they won't know i've paid them.

when does this situation arise? that answer will help us
prioritize the feature for addition.

we should also discuss what kind of information might be
in the email. because email is easily spoofed, we don't want
anyone getting in the habit of thinking that because
a text message arrived in their inbox, they actually own
more bits of gold - so i'd assume the email is something
like 'check your e-gold account, a new transaction has been posted'.
(the SCI notification email has a V2_HASH field that can be verified
for authenticity - i guess something like that could be added, but most
non-programmers aren't gonna bother with it).

answers/ideas?
