#7055: Emails: Attempting to use bp_send_mail() on non-root blogs fails

 Priority:  normal        |  Milestone:  2.6
Component:  API - Emails  |    Version:  2.5.0
 Severity:  normal        |   Keywords:  dev-feedback
--------------------------+--------------------------
 When a dev tries to use `bp_send_email()` on a non-root blog,
 `bp_send_email()` will fail.

 In `bp_send_email()`, we attempt to use `switch_to_blog()` to tell
 WordPress to use all BP root blog settings, however `switch_to_blog()`
 doesn't work that way, it only switches the WPDB DB prefixes.

 See #WP20541 for more details.

 To remedy this, we need to register the email type taxonomy ''even'' on
 non-root blogs.

 I'm currently working around this by registering the email type taxonomy
 only on the blog in question and on `$_POST` requests to limit the
 exposure of the email taxonomy type.

 Putting this in 2.6 since I don't think we can engineer a good solution
 before 2.5.3.
