Summary of Changes

Added a space and line break to the message that the Mass Mail Users component sends.

Testing Instructions

  1. Create a user with an email address (e.g. Gmail) that you have access to. Also, in the settings, enable sending email messages.
  2. Go to Users: Options -> Mass Mail Users, add some prefix and some signature.
  3. Go to Users -> Mass Mail Users, write some subject and some message text. Send a message.
  4. Go to Gmail and pay attention to the subject of the message - there is no space, to the message - there is no line break.

I propose a small patch to solve the problem.

Joomla doesn't add normally any white spaces to prefixes or suffixes.

Maybe. But why each time in the subject line of the message to put a space manually so that there is no "gluing" in the mail message? If we use a prefix in the settings.

The same goes for message signatures.

Normally you add the space to the prefix/suffix , I never used it so I don't know if it is possible. The reason is you can always add a space but can't remove the hardcoded one.

Perhaps I will agree with you on the spaces in the subject line. I checked - both options work:

  • if we add a space in the settings AFTER the prefix,
  • if we add a space BEFORE the subject of the message when sending the message.

And in the signature in the settings, too, omit the line? Decision :).

If both work we don't need this pr because you can do it in the settings.

Only thing is that it seams joomla removes the one blank line on saving the settings, adding 3 would add 2 blank lines to the email suffix.
