Part of the genius of Linux is the concept that each tool should do one
thing well and with pipes it is extremely easy to chain these tools
together in combinations unique to the current requirements of any task.

I can't speak for the rsync developers, but I don't believe they would be
open to adding functionality to their codebase that is already easily
obtained with a few lines of shell scripting. This would also open the
door to many other custom requests that that could tie up the developers
while adding no functionality to rsync itself.

Unless you are in an isolated location, it should be relatively easy to
find a local programmer who can add a few lines of code to your backup
system to give you the desired output. If the system is setup nicely, the
required work might take a few minutes to complete. If it's hard to get to
the output itself before it gets emailed, then it might take a little
longer.
