Probably, but to be fair, when a client asks "can you put a button here that sends an alert email when it's clicked?"... a reasonable first question may very well be "what is it you're hoping to accomplish here... so we can tell if such a button is really the right answer". In many cases, the button isn't the right answer. And being the kind of person that digs to find out what the problem trying to be solved actually is... can be very important.
