Description
The generic lost password email is poorly constructed. It states "...password be reset for the following account" and then echoes the home URL of the Wordpress site, leading many users unfamiliar with Wordpress to click this link rather than the more cryptic-looking longer (correct!) password-reset link.
Surely the 'account' should just state the 'Site name' with no link to the home_url. Or if it's important to give the home_url, why not clearly separate the two different links:
Account homepage: {network_home_url}
Reset your password: {network_site_url("wp-login.php?action=rp&key=$key&login="}

If we ever decide to use this, we can talk about capitalizing the "name", corresponding to
