It sounds like you went way beyond this, but did you know that there
*IS* an E-mail notification sent by the system already?
The "User Email Contact" in the "User Administration" -> "Settings"
screen will automatically be sent a notification anytime a new approval
is waiting in the system.
As I said, though, it sounds like you went way beyond that anyway, but I
just wanted to make sure you knew.
