In personal opinion, it's better just to say
"You need to supply an email address", and
be done with it - especially given that this is a non-default option, so you have to
go out of your way to turn it on.
What I would do is change "optional" in the interface to "required to
edit", or similar, and maybe have a warning if they don't fill it in
that you can click through if you really don't care.
Of course, if this kind of thing is moved to $wgGroupPermissions, the
message overall would have to be a lot smarter and more complicated.
