Bug Description

When sending mail in normal Zope mode, as well as in tests, which test the sending of mail, the mail is sent only if the transaction is commited. This is good.

However, when you are in an Zopeless environment, mail is sent immediately. This causes problems with the email interface, since bug notifications get sent out even though the transaction is later aborted. It would be possible to work around this, but it's quite troublesome, and it seems better to fix the real problem, make sending mail in a Zopeless environment have same semantics as in a Zope environment.

Please note that there is code depending on this behaviour in archiveuploader/uploadprocessor.py. When this bug is fixed, that code will also need to be addressed. Search for "29744" in the file to see the comment in there.

It's probably best if we make is so there's a choice of send the email now, or send when the transaction is committed so that the code in uploadprocessor (and soon to be also in packagecopyjob.py) still works after a txn is rejected.
