I think that's a reasonable request, maybe we should implement this, but ...

... that's, in a way, how Launchpad's notification system is designed.
The mailing services provides detailed metadata in the headers (and
even in the body) so that you can have complete control over the
notifications you receive from Launchpad. I don't think that the
bandwidth is really much of a problem. Even the thinest connections
nowadays can easily cope with the load that Launchpad's textual
messages generate.
