I did tackle this, but switched it off again, because the email sending
takes a moment... Damn anoying if you made a type in a DTML Method, and
click view to test it. I guess you could put a test in there to see if the
user has the Anonymous role or something...

Just place a sendmail tag in the error message, and put things like
<!--#var REQUEST--> in it's body.

Error related variables you could place into the email are:
error_type: type of the exception being handled (string or object)
error_value: exception parameter (second argument to a raise statement)
error_tb: Traceback object (or string, if no object is available)
error_traceback: Traceback string, usually nicely formatted.
error_message: Optional HTML message. (I think.....)
