Public bug reported:

In bug #1440617 we added the possibility to send a message along with
the account approval. That message does not respect line and paragraph
breaks though running all paragraphs on each other putting them all into
one paragraph.

That is not ideal because it makes a message less readable.

To replicate:

1. Allow self-registration on the site and force "Confirm registration" of new accounts in the institution settings.
2. Register for a new account.
3. As site admin, go to Admin menu -> Institutions -> "Pending registrations" for the institution in which the registration took place.
4. Click the "Approve" button next to the person you want to approve.
5. Fill in a reason on the next page that has some line breaks and paragraph breaks.
6. View the email that the user receives.

Expected result: The breaks show up properly making it an email that can be read easily.
Actual result: There are no line and paragraph breaks.

We don't have that problem in the denial messages.

While fixing this, can you please move the registration link message
above the approval message so it's seen more easily when a long approval
message follows? It is the text that looks like this:
