Unhelpful initial answer: I don't know of a product that does that.
Possibly helpful follow-up answer: Are you tracking a specific type of
object? 'Cause you could (just talking off the top of my head) go into the
manage_edit source and hook a sendmail method to it that checked against a
boolean property of the object. So:
if notify=='true':
    sendmail_method_somewhere_in_your_site()
