also:
 * mail about administering your lp account, eg confirming a new
address (or maybe that's in canonical-sso)
 * rejections of mail you sent (eg because it could not be authenticated)
 * mail about errors inside lp asynchronous processing or incoming
mail (eg diff failed to generate); this could be lumped under "i might
like to know about" but it's perhaps semantically different
