Comment (by mikeschinkel):

 I would suggest adding a hook here to allow the plugin to enable an email
 to be sent, if needed.

 Yes, as @hebbet and @duck_ says, sending an email doesn't "make sense"
 because you are the author of the email.  On the other hand, there are
 other use-cases for which common sense would not apply, i.e. an
 integration with another system via email that needs to see every comment.

 Adding a hook leaves the default and yet still allows someone to override
 if need be. And that really is the essence of the ''"Decisions not
 Options"'' philosophy; make the decision but let people override if really
 needed. If that were not the case how could there be 14,000+ plugins in
 the repository that all override the decisions made?
