With built-in mechanisms to allow for easy spoofing of critical events
to the user from anyone on the internet, no less!

This is outside of the issue that any such critical notification delivered
via e-mail makes it nigh-impossible to safely and sanely undertake
specific actions on user input acting on the notice.

Should the information be sent via e-mail to an adminstrator, and
stored for later viewing in general? Yes. Does that mean e-mail is
the best mechanism for presenting it? No.
