Emails used by Malone make filtering difficult

[Corey Burger]

Currently Malone (and the rest of Launchpad) use no-reply @canonical.com, which means that people cannot do an email filter to sort their bugs out cannot easily do it.

2 months later Malone emails now use a From header of the form "<email address hidden>". Since launchpad is now using the domain name "launchpad.net" for its web interface, maybe this From header should be changed to reflect this new domain name.

This is an OpenPGP/MIME signed message (RFC 2440 and 3156)

It will soon - I'm leaving it for a day or three until the DNS changes settle.

We now have an X-Launchpad-Bug header.

This has became worse after the recent upgrade. Having things like X headers are great in complicated mail programs but simple mail programs won't let you select them.

Prior to the upgrade I was filtering malone bug mail by using the fact that it was being cc'd to a mailing list. Now that cc has disappeared I've got nothing to fall back on and the mail is stacking up in the inbox. See the attached screenshot to see how basic some filtering is.

[Sitsofe Wheeler (sitsofe)]

Turns out I screenshoted the wrong filter. I was actually filtering by body contents (Body contains "https://launchpad.net/bugs/" (case sensitive) ) and the URI recently changed to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ thus evading the filter.
