Recently, when a bug reporter was wondering why he did not receive the comment requesting info from a bug triager.

It turned out due to a strict spam rule. There seems to be an issue when someone has set their spam rule to " Message goes to spam if sender is not in address book. "

The following was the request from the reporter:
" <intrader> there should be a way for contributors to send message on behalf of launchpad, and then I would only have to have launchpad in address book "

Seems like a reasonable request, and we can probably expect more users with such strict spam rules.

[The triager's mail id was sent since his id was public.]

Apart from mpt's desire to mail people privately, I'm not sure what is blocking from hiding everyone's email id?
[oh i did see wgrant's objection, but not sure why it was objected?]

Why do we need to send it as from the commenter's email address, when it actually isnt being sent from that address?
