Not just directed to you but anyone reading who reports problems: The thing about spreading information between multiple mails is that anyone looking into the problem then needs to spend time piecing them together. It's really helpful if a bug report mail can stand on its own - don't assume that the reader has access to old messages relating to the problem, instead collect all the information relating to a problem together in one place. Before sending, have a read through of what you've written, see if that mail contains everything you know about the problem - if not then add things back in.
