Windows Vista and Server 2008 have advanced monitoring/filtering features for the Windows event logs not in Windows XP and Server 2003, but I'm not sure about email notification. There are many third-party event log monitoring tools that have quite a few notification options, but I don't know any free ones that work with SMTP. Check out the free version of Snare for Windows and see if it does.

http://manageengine.adventnet.com/products/eventlog/download.html , the free version will monitor 5 hosts.

Or try OSSEC - www.ossec.net . You'll need to create a linux server (a simple VM will do and it's very easy to install and configure for email alerts). Besides the rest of it's HIDS functions it parses the windows event log for a number of preconfigured events, and you can create your own rule (and suppress those you don't need). It'd be a bigger investment in time but completely free and very powerful.
