[TYPO3-core] RFC: Feature #6040: bundled mailform improvements

[Ralf Hettinger]

Hi,

I eventually found it's state at [2] - seems this was postponed to 4.4.

Therefore, I'm attaching a patch for some slight improvements described
initially by this RFC that may be adequate for putting into 4.3.

Cheers
Ralf
