Looks like you're the only guy requesting this :).

But seriously, it would be very easy for you to create a custom appender
doing this. What you need is a custom appender skeleton as described in

  http://log4perl.sourceforge.net/releases/Log-Log4perl/docs/html/Log/Log4perl/FAQ.html#e8a46

and have its log() method extract the log4p_level parameter which is passed into it,
and put it into the subject of an email.

Let me know if you need any help implementing.
