Bug Description

If I have hidden my email address in Launchpad, I may be surprised to receive email from someone about my work in Launchpad. This would be especially surprising if my primary email address in Launchpad was only in use for Launchpad and there was no other way someone could discover it.

Launchpad should append a short footer to any email it sends through the "Contact this user" form. I suggest:

This email was sent through Launchpad without revealing your email address to the sender.
