 #### Email notifications
 
 Solid Errors _can_ send email notifications whenever an error occurs, if your application has ActionMailer already properly setup to send emails. However, in order to activate this feature you must define the email address(es) to send the notifications to. Optionally, you can also define the email address to send the notifications from (useful if your email provider only allows emails to be sent from a predefined list of addresses) or simply turn off this feature altogether. You can also define a subject prefix for the email notifications to quickly identify the source of the error.
