 The generic lost password email is poorly constructed. It states
 "...password be reset for the following account" and then echoes the home
 URL of the Wordpress site, leading many users unfamiliar with Wordpress to
 click this link rather than the more cryptic-looking longer (correct!)
 password-reset link.

 Surely the 'account' should just state the 'Site name' with no link to the
 home_url. Or if it's important to give the home_url, why not clearly
 separate the two different links:

 Account homepage: {network_home_url}
 Reset your password: {network_site_url("wp-
 login.php?action=rp&key=$key&login="}
