This is obviously in the realm of subjective preference, but I find
that the prompt line is distinct enough among all other output that
we do not need an extra blank line to locate them.

I'll let others comment as the "blank around prompt" smells quite
subjective and do not want to be the sole reviewer on it.

For what it's worth, I had the same reaction about the extra blank
line related to the prompt being unnecessary, but I didn't feel
strongly enough to say anything about it, and I still don't feel
strongly enough to suggest dropping this change.

Basically, I went with a rather simple reasoning:  the confirmation
prompts, just like the SMTP statuses, aren't part of the emitted SMTP
traces and patch descriptions.  As such, separating the prompts with
vertical whitespace is actually consistent, and should help with the
overall readability, by taking the prompts visually out of the other
produced messages.
