RFC 822 states "4.6.3. REFERENCES
The contents of this field identify other correspondence which this message references. Note that if message identifiers are used, they must use the msg-id specification format." (http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc822/#z33).

Personally, seems like Launchpad is doing something wrong here by referencing itself in the first mail. Can't this be fixed at the Launchpad level? If Launchpad was open source, I'd even submit a patch.
