Two things id love to add to this:

1) Put something meaningful in the subject of your message, 'Client crashes when loading world with error code#######' rather than 'ARRGGGHH!!! Its broke'
2) when pasting large junks of log files or error output use the {CODE} {/CODE} tags around it so it has its own scroll bar. (replace {} with [])

Just two personal little irritations :)
