      Description

      The text on the back-office contribution screen is not necessarily accurate. Many sites are not set up to send out email receipts each time and the links will only be included if the payment processor is configured to send them.

      I'm inclined to go for the easy solution of simply removing this text since i adds relatively little value when it is correct and is confusing when it is not.

      "Your recurring contribution will be processed automatically for the number of installments you specify. You can leave the number of installments blank if you want to make an open-ended commitment. In either case, you can choose to cancel at any time. You will receive an email receipt for each recurring contribution. The receipts will include a link you can use if you decide to modify or cancel your future contributions."

      Instead we could have

      "If you enter a number of installments then the contributions will stop being processed when that limit has been reached. Otherwise they will continue until cancelled"
