After thinking a bit more about these patches, I think that the second patch in the series ("send-email: make it easy to discern the messages for each patch") should be dropped, but the first patch ("send-email: move newline characters out of a few translatable strings") should have no roadblocks that prevent it from becoming applied to "next".

The reason why I'm proposing that the second patch gets dropped is that I now think there are better ways to utilize the vertical screen space in the outputs produced by "git send-email". I'll keep thinking about it for a while, and possibly submit a clean and irresistible [1] patch at some point in the future.
