You mentioned you were running the 4.2pre version, which is a rather
early snapshot of the 4.2 release. I do believe this has been fixed
in the current code; what happens is that basically the alert code
would ignore the general criteria like TIME when used together with a
MAIL setting.

So - I'd like you to try it out with the current snapshot (which will be
a beta-release in a day or two).
