Question

I have drupal 7 installed on my live server. I want to edit the default text emails to Html emails which are present in user.module file. I tried changing the core file, deleted cache, deleted browser cache, but it does not work. I have also changed the permission to 777, but it did not work.

I know it is not a good idea to change the default core files, but is it possible to change the drupal core files ??

Thanks

Update

I have installed Html mail module, and i can change the look of the html, however i wish to change the actual text of the default emails.

Update 2

As mentioned in the answer below, i tried checking the the settings page in Drupal, however i could not get the forget password email and new comment email text. Is it possible to add this or edit this using the HTML mail module??

Answer 1

All the emails are being sent from the system and the content is editable as we want. To stylize the emails, i am using html mail module as suggested by CLive.

The new account creation, account cancellation emails can be found in “Account settings” page when you login as a admin.

All other emails are set from “Actions” settings page.

I could use html tags in the emails content, i think it worked because i was using html mail module.

I hope this comment helps someone trying to change the core email content from drupal.
