You could add code to the DocView.aspx.vb file, but depending on your requirements it could take some programming sophistication. For instance: retrying and not slowing the view if the mail server is down, not double-counting if the user refreshes a page, not triggering when a crawler accesses the site, batching emails instead of sending a separate one on each view.

If you're going to write code, I'd be tempted to abstract the work of sending the message out to a separate web service. Then you could use an AJAX call from DocView.aspx and keep from blocking the page load.

There is no native feature to do that. You could probably use Audit Trail and a scheduled workflow to get you there. It won't be real time, however.
