    Bug 18653: Possible privacy breach with OPAC password recovery
    
    OPAC password recovery allows to find out which email address belongs to an account. An attacker could systematically guess login names. If they hit an existing one, OPAC displays a message like:
    An email has been sent to "xxx at yyy.zz".
    
    Having a combination of login name and email, attackers could use the information e.g. for phishing or other personalized actions.
    
    To reproduce:
    - Enable OPAC password recovery (syspref OpacResetPassword)
    - 'Guess' a login name e.g. by using a common pattern like ptester for Peter Tester
    - If such account exists, you get to know the related email address
    
    This patch removes the email address from the success message. Additionaly, it changes
    wording to address Bug 18570 ('will be sent' instead of 'has been sent')

    Simplified the wording. "Will be sent shortly" is used elsewhere too.
