If you want to go this route, just add the "MAILTO" variable to the top of your crontab file or define it in .bash_profile (if that is the shell you are using). I personally use this method. I send the output of the scripts I don't care much about to the bit bucket and all others are emailed to me.

MAILTO="<your email address>"
