Steve, was this what the bug report was about? From reading it, it's
not clear whether you were subscribed directly or via a team. (i.e.
whether there was a bug in the 'display checkbox' logic, that has since
been fixed)

FWIW, I subscribe to bugs all the time, even though I get bug mail via
launchpad-bugs. It's a way for me to keep a more track of certain bugs
more closely. The wording 'Email me...' is a bit strange, though, maybe
we should reword it to talk about subscriptions instead?
