Bug Description
I often have typos in my emails to malone. (The most common right now is "status fix_released" instead of "status fixreleased". I find the former more natural, and got hooked on it from the code review interface.)
Anyway, when I get that email back telling me "here is how you should have done it", my normal mode of operation is to try to go fix the thing I did wrong. However
1) The email sent to me is from "<email address hidden>" so I can't just hit "^R status fixreleased <enter>".
2) It also doesn't include the link to the original bug, which was in the message that I replied to.
3) The email also doesn't seem to include a link back to my original message, which would mean that it would thread properly to the email I replied to. (or maybe it includes my message, but not the parent of that message, etc.)
As such, I have to manually search through my bug mail folder, looking to find the message I originally replied to. (Provided it wasn't deleted because I thought I handled that bug report.)
Launchpad may not always have enough context, but I think often it has a lot more context than it is giving me. If it could include some of that context in the error message, it would be much easier to recover.
