Summary

Added email analytics support and configuration steps to Contact Lens conversational analytics documentation

Security assessment

The changes document email analytics configuration including redaction of sensitive data and generative AI summaries. While redaction is a security feature, there's no evidence this addresses an existing vulnerability. This adds documentation for security-adjacent features rather than fixing security issues.
