Here you're envisioning a setting that says "for all jobs I submit,
please email me the results"?  Would what Paul suggested, i.e. putting
your email address in the job file be an acceptable compromise?

It would make subscribing to job health failures a lot less self-service
but I think for the "own job" case it would be OK.

Yeah.  Let's get something done this cycle!
