Is it possible to watch the log for specific info events that are outgoing e-mails?  
I would like to send all [info] [e-mail:example@test] events to a separate file.

So you have a flow sending out email…right?  
If so why not examine the email before it is sent and if need be, write it to a file and then send it?
