When I'm subscribed to a bug, I get email notifications from launchpad.net. And the emails trigger the phising warning always in Gmail as follows:

That's because Launchpad uses the From: header as:

From: "LAUNCHPAD USERNAME" <email address hidden>

e.g. From: Nobuto Murata <email address hidden>

And Gmail or other mailers think random email addresses (<email address hidden>, <email address hidden>, <email address hidden>, etc.) try to impersonate the same "LAUNCHPAD USERNAME".

It would be nice if Launchpad sends those emails from something like:

From: "LAUNCHPAD USERNAME" via Launchpad.net <email address hidden>
