Given what Ryan Lane said, I think this could be user preference (possibly tied to whether the user checked the "Always use a secure connection when logged in" box in preferences).
That would be the ideal, but I vaguely remember a previous thread where some objections were raised regarding such a proposal. I can't find it at this time though.
Anyhow, here's the bug: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39676

If we switch the URLs to HTTPS we'll have issues with users in China and Iran and we can't really use geoip targeting for this like we are for log-in.
If what Gryllida proposed is unfeasible, why not apply the initial idea you had for login and just disable https emails on a per-wiki basis? It's not perfect, but it will probably satisfy the vast majority of users.
