Note that since typical email is unencrypted, sending data
about your errors over email using this function could be
considered a security risk. How much of a risk it is depends
on how much and what type of information you are sending,
but the mere act of sending an email when something happens
(even if it cannot be read) could itself imply to a
sophisticated hacker observing your site over time that they
have managed to cause an error.

Of course, security through obscurity is the weakest kind of
security, as most open source supporters will agree. This is
just something that you should keep in mind. 

And of course, whatever you do, make sure that such emails
don't contain sensitive user data.
