If there's no information at all, maybe the users didn't go through the
Emacs bug reporting interface, writing the report directly in the email client.

I usually delete most of it, because the default text looks messy, and I
don't like sending emails that look untidy. Also, it's harder to find
the actual report description if it's surrounded by auto-generated text.
It's better now that some parts of it are just shown through the display
property, but the user might not know/understand that.

As it is, the exact information the user's sending is not immediately
obvious, they'd have to carefully scroll though a fairly large chunk of
text to know that.
IMO, it would be better to ask about each potentially-sensitive section
(last keystrokes, obviously; local paths, recent messages? maybe), and
then include them as attachment or several.
