As the summary question suggests, is there a non-extension method that allows me to set the system to automatically send an e-mail notification when a specific file in the repository is modified?
There is no way to do it, as far as I know.
There are a number of Enhancements aimed at refining the email notification system, but I haven't found one that covers your request.
I suggest you use the RFE Community to create a request for enhancement.
