Hi Edgar,

I have opened up the 5.2 alpha (18167, 64bit, Windows 10) and noticed a few things we might want to fix before the release:
- Without adjusting the window size after opening the image the following happens: When starting the UI configuration assistant the list of themes and visual settings options is too long. It moves into the "Previous" and "Next" buttons
- Test failures:
  - BrowserTest>>#testAlphabetizeMessageCategories
  - BrowserTest>>#testMessageCategoryList
- I have found an issue in the MailSender infrastructure. It is a proper fault with some methods missing from the class. As I have done the changes previously, I have a fix ready. Should I commit it?

Bests
