Description
(Note that this is on MultiSite and I don't know exactly how it functions on a single site install.)
I think the email message that is sent when someone updates a Site Admin Email Address should be modified as to NOT be addressed: Dear CURRENT_USER_NAME, and shouldn't say that "YOU" have recently requested to update the email.
If I want to change the site admin email for a site, the confirmation email goes to the new email address (say, a client), but the email says "Dear MadtownLems,". We have had a few cases now where these emails alarmed users and thought they were phishing attempts or had been hacked.
This is very confusing for our users, as they have received an email addressed to someone else, and it tells them that they tried to do something that they may not have tried to do. Rather, I believe the text would be much cleaner if it said something like:
"Someone ('MadtownLems') has requested to update the email address for the site..."
Agreed this needs improving. There are other email notifications that work like this too, eg. the "Delete My Site" one is worded the same.
