Added invisible element for screenreaders so that entries with no subject will be read as no subject instead of a string of numbers

Thank you so much!!!

ETA The element doesn't yet appear to be working correctly in Magazine.

This is after a cash clearing.

Page text needs update azurelunatic February 12 2009, 23:53:25 UTC
On http://www.livejournal.com/tools/emailmanage.bml, the lj_en text reads as follows:

"This page lets you remove past e-mail addresses that were used with your account. If you remove an address, it will no longer be possible to have your password mailed to that address. This is useful if somebody discovered your password and hijacked your journal. Simply have the new password mailed to your old address, change the password, and remove the attacker's e-mail address.

This page only lets you remove e-mail addresses that were used after the first time you used the e-mail address your account is currently validated with. In particular, this means an attacker isn't able to remove your original e-mail address."
This needs the following updates: you can't email yourself a password, just a password reset; you can now remove *any* previously-validated addresses after the new address has been validated for 6 months. Shall I just comment here, or stick that in Jira ( ... )

Speaking of lj_userdoc, does the 6 months start at the time of adding the address to the account, or the time of validation?

I think the new email management system is a very nifty system that handily prevents abuse from a hacker changing the email while letting people kill off old emails being attached to their accounts.
