Subject: [PATCH RESEND] send-email: make produced outputs more readable
Date: Thu,  4 Apr 2024 19:07:32 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <62553db377c28458883b66bcdc0c58cc0f32d15b.1712250366.git.dsimic@manjaro.org> (raw)

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.  This
unnecessarily makes discerning each of the result statuses a bit difficult,
as visible in the sample output excerpt below:

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

    Result: 250
    OK. Log says:
    ...

As visible above, bunching the "Result: <status-code>" lines together with
the messages produced for the subsequent patch makes the output unreadable.
Thus, let's add a newline after each displayed result status, to make the
outputs more readable, 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.

Notes:
     * send-email: make produced outputs more readable by separating
       the result statuses from the subsequent patch outputs
    
    This is a resubmission of the patch I submitted about a week and a half
    ago. [1]  The patch subject in the original submission was selected in
    a bit unfortunate way, which this submission corrects, and also improves
    the patch description a bit.  There are no changes to the patch itself.
