I think there's more worth in receiving emails if we could actually see the stacktrace.

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion :-) We'll be looking at a raft of improvements in the new year, including this one.

I hope that helps!

Hi,

We added the stack trace to the first sighting email. We haven't added it to subsequent emails primarily because they are summaries of a collection of errors. This means that under some scenarios, you could get an email stating that an error occurred a further 1000 times since the first sighting email, yet only show the last stack trace. We see this as dangerous as it make make you believe it's not an issue, when in fact the other 999 instances were from elsewhere.

Typically error grouping uses the stack trace, but there are scenarios where it doesn't (and as we continue to add more control for grouping, like with merging etc, it will only get more common that the stack traces could be different and therefore misleading).

I hope that getting the stack on the first sighting email is a help!
