When sending multiple patches at once, without confirming the sending of each patch separately, the displayed result statuses of sending each patch become bunched together with the messages produced for the subsequent patch.

Just to clarify, this isn't about making code "neater", :) but about making the outputs more readable. Perhaps the patch subject could've been selected
better, to be more descriptive.

Let's add a newline after each displayed result status, to make reading the produced outputs much easier, as visible in the sample output excerpt below:

    ...
    MIME-Version: 1.0
    Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

    Result: 250

    OK. Log says:
    ...

This change also adds a newline after the last produced result status, which may be seen as redundant. Though, it doesn't look too bad, and making that last newline not displayed would make the code much more complex, which would not be worth neither the time and effort now, nor the additional maintenance
burden in the future.

While there, remove one spotted stray newline in the code.
