You can only change these files when you use a theme.
I guess you changed the templates for the example theme? But your config doesn't say that you are using a theme. So make sure that you change the items for the theme you are using.

Well I can change them, but I suppose you mean edits only have effect on themed templates. If I am not mistaken I have tried this, but I'll check and get back with the result. Thanks.

Update: when I tried customising a theme earlier I still had the Theming app enabled, which is why it didn't work. We prefer not to sacrifice the comfort of the theming app to get customised mails, so we'll let it be.

It would be great if the theming app and the mail template app would play well together. At least a note in the mail template app that it won't work if the theming app is enabled is probably appropriate.

Thanks.

tried customizing the themes in NC 10 before to change the email templates but did not really succeed. The theming up instead is easy to use and provides sufficient features to change. It would be very comfortable if the email templates could be edited while using the theming app.
