Good point. For v3, I slightly shortened the strings to

  "Always send email"
  "Send email on failure"

Also, instead of rendering the recipient addresses in the same field by appending them to the string,
I created a second display field "Recipients", which is only visible if the legacy mode
will be used. If it is visible, but no mail address has been added

  "No recipients configured"

is now shown.

What do you think about this approach?
