IMO, this is slightly mixed up on the 'edit user' form:

Allow other users to contact you by e-mail via your personal contact form. Note that while your e-mail address is not made public to other members of the community, privileged users such as site administrators are able to contact you even if you choose not to enable this feature.

The second sentence confuses two concepts, one that your email address is not visible, and two that admins might still contact you anyway. I suggest:

Allow other users to contact you by e-mail via a personal contact form which keeps your e-mail address hidden. Note that some privileged users such as site administrators are still able to contact you even if you choose to disable this feature.

Strings are frozen for 5 and 6. This would have to be for 7.

I'm also in favor of a string change because "other members of the community" doesn't apply to most of the more corporate sites that I usually work on where "community" doesn't really fit the business utility of the site.

Attached patch uses the string suggested by dar-es-balat.

Per #453572: Contact form submit button should read "Send message" we should change 'e-mail' to 'message'. Should be a simple re-roll.

Revised patch removes "by e-mail" to read "Allow other users to contact you via a personal contact form..."
