Comment:
The text was updated for clarity in #49346 / [47232].
The word "message" might not be necessary, but I think it could help
distinguish between an email address and an email message ("email" can
refer to either).
Looking at some of the [https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp/dev
/fr-ca/default/?filters%5Bterm%5D=You+will+receive+an+email+message 108
translations]:
- Your German translation plus all French and Portuguese translations have
a form of "email" without "message."
- On the other hand, Austrian and Swiss German plus all English and
Spanish translations include "message."
