explaining the problem and send the relevant part of

computer, operating system, etc.
==========================
is followed by 2 pages of technical details that might just look
bewildering, it's quite likely that the user will not think to scroll
back and see if there was anything s/he is meant to be doing next, and
will miss the fact that we want them to let us know what happened.
If the main instructions appear on the last screen, they're much more
likely to be seen.
