Glad that you found the error :)
The usefulness of an error message is only directly related to how helpful it is, in giving you a hint of what is broken, and that was pretty good and clear :)
Q2:Not sure if a mailnotifier can be triggered (I will leave it to who is more knowledgeable); honestly the only solution that would pop in my head is to use a cron job to send an email instead of using buildbot; while if you want to use buildbot you could maybe create a scheduler that one hour before the build process starts, will just execute a script that send an email...is not really elegant and nice but I don't think that the mailnotifier was made with that functionality in mind (after all is just a way to tell you what went bad or what was successful after doing a sequence of steps).
Q3: Depends from what you wanna link there: you can create a log and append it to the page, modifying the behavior of the step "createSummary function; hiding the stdio and warnings if you want.
If you want to add a link to another page (on the server or somewhere else), probably you wanna look at the Buildstep URL section on the manual (never tried it so i am not really knowledgeable about that topic), at first glance seems to do what you are looking for.
Hope that this helps.
