I agree with William - to suppress the mail entirely. I believe a better solution already exists that serves both the needs of the user/reporter and the maintainer/developer: the inclusion of the "apport-package" tag in the original email.

As a 4+ year Ubuntu, and therefore Launchpad, user (not developer), I can say that I could care less about the original apport attachments and even less about receiving an email to indicate they were attached. This is because I did not manually attach them - they were brought along automatically and aren't for me (the user).

With "apport-package" being tagged, the developers (or whomever would benefit from looking at the apport attachments) know immediately that the attachments are available. Do they really need an itemized listing? Is there a benefit to having an itemized listing available in email form? I would assume that any maintainer would be intimately familiar with the logs that are generated by apport for their package and that it is redundant to be told they are attached every time.
