Description

Once PR #962 is merged, move functionality from RecipientLoader to its own class(es). That way both testing and changing the method to perform the work off the main thread later will be much easier.

The fact that the loader is registering content observers make this a bit more complicated. So this should probably not done by a beginner.

Research direction

Read RecipientLoader and PR #962 first to understand the functionality being moved and how content observers are registered. Done means the loader's work is placed in its own class or classes while preserving the existing observer behavior; verify against the current tests and behavior described around PR #962.
