There are no changes to the patch itself.I tried to cram a bit more information than "output more readable" that lacks in what way the result is easier to read. send-email: make boundaries between messages easier to spot perhaps?
Looking good to me, will use that as the patch subject in v2.

That way, existing message translations do not have to change. If we were to change the translatable string anyway, it would be even better to remove the newline from the translatable part of the message, rendering the thing to: if ($smtp) { print __("Result: "), ..., ($smtp->message =~ /.../); } else { print __("Result: OK"); } print "\n\n"; Strictly speaking, that is an orthogonal clean-up, so it may have to make it into two patch series, one for preliminary clean-up "to excise terminating newline out of translatable strings" patch that adds a separate print that adds a single newline, plus the "make it easier to spot where a message ends and another one starts" patch that makes the new print statement that adds a single newline to instead add two. In a patch as simple as this one, however, I think killing two birds with a stone, i.e., directly go to the "if we were to change the translatable string anyway" final shape in a single patch, would be fine.
Thank you very much for such a detailed review! I also think that putting everything into a single patch is a better option, because the changes are rather small. Will do that in v2.
