Bug Description
Every time I get a 'this bug is a duplicate' mail, I find it very confusing, because it reads something like:
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 60388 ***
https:/
[...]
** This bug has been marked a duplicate of bug 60388
e1000 EEPROM Checksum validity check should be disabled
Mostly because I don't have the context[1] for what 'This bug' means, it'd be better if the message was explicit i.e. 'Bug 140771 is a duplicate' or 'This bug (140771)'.
(I also shouldn't be getting these emails in the first place as a subscriber to the original bug report, but that's another already-reported bug)

[1] I know it's in the subject and footer, but I still find it confusing...
