Emit additional vertical whitespace after the "Send this email [y/n/...]?" confirmation prompts, more specifically after each confirmed email is sent, but before the subsequent messages are emitted, to make the produced output more readable. The subsequent produced messages were bunched together with the confirmation prompts, as visible in the sample output excerpt below, which made discerning the outputs unnecessarily harder. ... Send this email? ([y]es|[n]o|[e]dit|[q]uit|[a]ll): y OK. Log says: ... The introduced changes don't emit additional vertical whitespace after the confirmation prompt if the user selects to skip sending the email they were asked about, or if the user selects to quit the procedure entirely. This follows the Git's general approach of not wasting the vertical screen space whenever reasonably possible. The associated test, t9001, requires no updates to cover these changes.
