You can also play extractor tricks here:

object MyExceptionLogger {
  def unapply(in: (Props.RunModes.Value, Req, Throwable)):
Option[(Props.RunModes.Value, Req, Throwable)] = {
     Mailer.sendMail(From("[email protected]"), Subject("You've got exception"),
To("[email protected]"), PlainMailBodyType(in._3.getMessage))
     None
  }
}

LiftRules.exceptionHandler.prepend{
  case MyExceptionLogger(_, _, t) => throw t // this will never happen
}

What this does is it calls the unapply method on MyExceptionLogger which has
the side effect of sending email about the exception, but it returns None so
the case is not applied and the testing continues.
