Could this maybe instead be "Always send email" and then later on append
either " to: {0}" or " (no address configured)"? I compared this in the
UI to the texts used before this patch and I think the old "Always (No
target configured)" looked more polished and also gave more info than
the "-" if no addresses were configured. Also, the new text is very long
and in my browser (Firefox 139) almost reaches the end of the details
dialog. Just a suggestion, though.
