Launchpad doesn't allow people to sort bugmail

Bug Description

There is no easy way to sort bugmail for launchpad, according to product.
For example, I'm on the easyubuntu team, and I get a lot of bugmail from there, and can't help most of it - so have it moved to a folder and marked read.
OTOH, I absolutely must know of bugs reported against ubuntuforums.org, spreadubuntu or similar.

I second this bug description.
Maybe another way to handle topic names could be implemented to ease the mail filtering.

Hello Jenda,

the X-Launchpad-Bug header is added to all email sent by Malone (Launchpad's bugtracker). You can use that header to better filter your email.
You can find more info about the header here:

https://help.launchpad.net/UsingMaloneEmail#head-9313c7b25665327a080cb976ca05bfca8aaad30a

Does that help you?

Thanks for reporting.

I admit not have known about the header before. However, it's still not
easy for people who don't know about headers :)
I'm thinking it _should_ be attempted to make stuff easier for non-tech
people, especially reporting bugs.

Users who worry about sorting email from bug trackers are not really
"non-tech", IMHO. And we can include lots of useful info about the
bug in the headers in just one email, instead of one email per
affected package or product, which would get spammy.

If you have some specific suggestions for improvement though, please
share your ideas.
