Well, if IDL actually *crashes*, it isn't going to do anything -
including sending mail.

I don't know how your processes get started, but some trivial csh
script like this could work:

echo ".run dreadedprocess" | idl >& outputfile
mail email@address < outputfile

which will simply collect everything idl produces in that file and
mail it when idl exits (presumably because it crashed).
