Send email if a copy-item cmdlet fails

i've got script send email, , know how copy files, don't seem able email on failure.  failure example might network share isn't available.  know i'm missing fundamental here, first real shot @ using powershell i'm struggling bit.

currently i'm using try {

copy-item source destination

}

catch {

there problem copy job: $_

$emailfrom = ""
$emailto = ""
$subject = ""
$body = ""
$smtpserver = ""
$smtp = new-object net.mail.smtpclient($smtpserver)
$smtp.send($emailfrom, $emailto, $subject, $body)

}

try/catch triggers catch block if encounters terminating error.  can use -ea parameter force errors terminating, catch block invoked.

try {

copy-item source destination -ea stop

}

catch {

there problem copy job: $_

$emailfrom = ""
$emailto = ""
$subject = ""
$body = ""
$smtpserver = ""
$smtp = new-object net.mail.smtpclient($smtpserver)
$smtp.send($emailfrom, $emailto, $subject, $body)

}
