Bug Description
I just reassigned a bug to myself. I then received two e-mail notifications, the first of which read:
------------
You have been subscribed to a public bug:
There's not enough spacing between the entries. Attaching screenshot.
** Affects: launchpad (upstream)
Importance: Low

This is misleading and confusing. I have not "been subscribed", I myself assigned the bug to myself.
This is not the same as bug 548, because some people may want e-mail notification of things they do themselves, but such notifications still should not say "You have been subscribed" when they mean "You have been assigned".
What I should have received:
------------
You have assigned to yourself the bug "Summary of bug here":
There's not enough spacing between the entries. Attaching screenshot.
** Affects: launchpad (upstream)
