"The user can still do X" is not technically incorrect, but this is
not merely a possiblity but does actively does X, so
After a patch failure on an input e-mail message lacking a patch,
create an empty commit with the contents of the e-mail
message as its log message.
or something.

It would be better to hide the new part of the message behind
advice_if_enabled(), and advise "--skip" first before giving
"--allow-empty" as another possibility. It is rather a common
mistake to grab patches with the cover letter and see "am" die on
the cover letter.
If we were to add an advice message there, that is. I am not sure
if it is necessary, especially since we give them in "git status".

Overlong line.

It is unclear to the user what "resume value" means. I am guessing
that this is saying that the user gave us the "--allow-empty" option,
but it is an inappropriate option for the situation. So
"--allow-empty is not appropriate in this situation"
would be a slight improvement, but it is not clear what makes it
inappropriate, iow, what the situation is, to the users.
Stepping back a bit, if we disect that overlong condition:
if (allow_empty &&
(index_changed || !is_empty_or_missing_file(am_path(state, "patch")))) {
it seems to be computing something not quite right. What we want
with "allow" empty is (1) if we have recorded changes to the index,
that is perfectly fine. We'll create a non-empty commit, and (2) if
we do not have any change in the index because the input did not
have a patch, it is OK to create an empty commit out of the current
index. But the condition is there only to complain about
"--allow-empty" given when either (1) we have changes, or (2) when
the input had a patch. These are conditions that we can internally
ignore allow_empty settings and let the existing code handle the
message as before this patch.

And I do not see how "when you have resolved with this problem, do one
of these things" message would help in this situation. Perhaps we
can get rid of the above block. We still need to compute index_changed,
and make "no changes--we will die" conditional.

A command to the user to "record it as an empty commit" is not what
we want to give. Perhaps "recorded it as ..." would work better as
a report of what we did for the user.
Also style:
if (allow_empty) {
printf_ln(...);
} else {
... original multi-statement block come here ...
}
That is, when one arm of if/else if/.../else cascade needs {}, put
{} to all of them.
I think there is a logic error here once we remove the way too
aggressive "you may not say --allow-empty when there is a patch"
check we saw earlier.
When we see no changes added to the index and "--allow-empty" given,
we shouldn't be blindly creating an empty commit without checking if
we didn't have any patch. If the last failure that gave the control
back from "am" to the user was a patch that did not apply, we do not
want to create an empty commit, do we? So something like
if (!repo_index_has_changes(the_repository, NULL, NULL)) {
if (allow_empty &&
is_empty_or_missing_file(am_path(state, "patch"))) {
printf_ln(_("No changes - recorded an empty commit."));
} else {
... original block ...
perhaps?

You do not want to add the new one the first. "--skip" should come
first, and perhaps this new one, and "--abort" at the end.
The general rule of thumb is to give common ones early before the
less common ones and ones, and give ones with more severe
consequence the last.
