Not to mention that if someone else runs into this, finding that info 
can be difficult since they tend to expire and delete after a while.  
Also, often times you find the error on the other website but can't find 
this thread with the solution.

I'm all for putting all info with the email.  If it is a little large or 
something, tar it up if needed.  Heck, I get pictures attached to emails 
so even if someone sends a 10MB file, it doesn't bother me but for some 
on slower connections compressing it somehow might be nice.
