That's fine. I just wanted to make it clear that other log entries
could be different (as far as I knew), and that they should be tested
too. :)

Put the decoder in /var/ossec/etc/local_decoder.xml (change /var/ossec
to where-ever you installed ossec).

Adding <options>alert_by_email</options> will make the rule always get
emailed. Also setting the level high enough to be emailed (I think
it's 7 and up by default) could do it.
