Description

Current behavior

The list only shows if the "Allow emails" tickbox is ticked and requires the user to save the page:

Requested new behavior

The Email blacklist should always display
The "allow emails from new users" tickbox should always display
If "Allow emails" is ticked, these 2 preferences should be active and functional
If "Allow emails" is unticked, these 2 preferences should be inactive and the contents should be uneditable.
Whatever is in the textbox and tickbox (regardless of 'allow emails' status) when 'Save' is clicked should be saved.

Ideally... this would use OOUI to hide and show the fields immediately. That way it keeps the UI clean and it is clear what is being added/removed as a result of your choices.

As part of T138165 (patch here) the email blacklist will never be hidden unless it is disabled by config. It will be shown disabled if an email has not been setup. If there is an email address, it will remain visible and enabled regardless of Allow other users to email me. Is this acceptable or do I need to change it?

Acceptable. Ship it.

(Blacklisted users won't be able to send emails because nobody will be able to send emails, so it's not entirely lying. Just very suboptimal.)
