Issue #2384 - Remove text about email receipts for each recurring contribution

[agileware-justin]

Overview

From issue https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/2384

On a contribution page, when you select a recurring contribution, this is part of the message that appears: "You will receive an email receipt for each recurring contribution" if email receipt is enabled for the contribution page.

I'm sure we're not the only org that sends an email receipt for the first recurring contribution through the contribution page, but doesn't send a receipt for every contribution, making this text inaccurate. It would also be incorrect if a donor isn't entering an email address.

From the perspective of the person filing out the form, I'm not sure whether or not they'll receive an email receipt for every contribution is necessary information. My suggestion is to remove this sentence. I think this kind of information makes sense in an email receipt (where it is also more easily editable) rather than on a contribution page.

I would also suggest removing this sentence: "Your recurring contribution will be processed automatically." I think it is quite obvious that if someone is making a recurring contribution, it will be processed automatically.

If both these sentences were removed, then there is no additional text shown when someone makes a recurring contribution on a page where they can't select the number of instalments, which would be nice and simple.

Before

Text is displayed which adds little to no value and can be incorrect in some use cases.

After

Text is no longer shown.

I can certainly understand where your coming from with this @agileware-justin, My understanding is that when a recurring contribution is created via a contribution page the value if is_email_receipt setting on a contribution page is controlling unless the civicrm_contribution_recur.is_email_receipt gets set to 0. I know that at my previous org people have contacted them wanting a receipt for every recurring contribution but again that might be a minority of situations.

To be clear I'm not saying I disagree with this I'm just thinking that there could be some scenarios when it makes more sense to have the text but I do also agree that it would be in accurate for the no email which is making me lean towards this being a good thing but would appreciate some other views on this
