Bug Description

More and more frequently, I'm receiving mails of comments that are afterwards hidden by the submitter. The problem is that when I read one of such mails, I generally want to go to the Launchpad page and reply there, and I struggle to find the comment in order to quote it.

At first, I couldn't understand what was happening. Today it came to my mind that Launchpad has the feature to hide comments, and I'm almost sure this is the cause of the problem.

I don't know what the solution could be. Probably the user shouldn't be able to hide its own comments once email notifications are sent (because if I reply via email, the comment is re-published). Or probably Launchpad should show me, at the end of the comments list, a message like "warning: some comments have been hidden, you're not mad, man!". Or probably Launchpad should send an email everytime a comment is hidden. None of these solution exclude each other.
