Launchpad sends me e-mail telling me that I just reported a bug

[Tomasz Chrzczonowicz]

When I report a bug, Launchpad instantly sends me e-mail notifying me that I did just that. And when I report a bug via ubuntu-bug, I get another e-mail for the attachment.

What is the purpose of this? Why can't I turn it off?

Not sure if your questions were rhetorical or not, but just in case they were not:

1) The purpose of this email is to have a record of all bug activity in email. Some people do like having this -- for searching, having archives of bugs, etc. from their mail client.

2) You can't turn it off because we haven't done the work to make bug mail notifications configurable.

I agree that you should be able to turn off notices of your own activity. I think this should be a single "turn off notices of things I say or do" (yes, I know that isn't a good sentence for the actual option, but you get the idea ;)). With that in mind, I think bug 504663 is a duplicate of this one.

OK

2) You can't turn it off because we haven't done the work to make bug mail notifications configurable.

Is it on the roadmap?

I think it's pretty good, except s/notices/e-mail notifications

Not currently, no. I'm not sure if/when it will appear on our roadmap
either, which is why I triaged this bug to low priority. Configurable
bug mail is something people certainly want.
