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.
