[Bug 1259768] [NEW] Sending a message with a friend request should be more obviously optional

 

Public bug reported:

When requesting friendship, the fact that sending a message is optional
is not obvious to screen reader users. There should be some (possibly
hidden) help text linked to the text box to make it clearer that the
message is optional, eg. "Optionally send a message to this user"

This will be made somewhat clearer when Bug #1259393 is fixed, so it's
just a wishlist item.
