Ok, so here's what I did, seems there is an issue with themed templates. I renamed mails under my default-bootstrap folder to oldmails (which I will now delete). Prestashop then reverted to using the templates found under the root /mails/en. Going forward, I will not be using the GUI to change them.

One other thing, I've looked in mail/en folder and the template I modified does not have a new date on them which leads me to believe that they are cached or stored elsewhere. Actually, just found that there is an associated themes folder. It still doesn't answer the question as to why this is happening. Hopefully I can restore these files and it will just work.

I'm on PS 1.6.0.5 and I was working on fixing the templates for the merchandise returns. The emails being sent out had MESSAGE: {message} in the body but I couldn't find how to make {message} get populated since return statuses are treated differently from other statuses. Anyway, I tried clicking on the HTML editor gui and that didn't work so then I went to Tools->Source Code and modified it there. After doing all the urls (logo, order history) are messed up. I've tried pasting in original template but that doesn't work. At close examination (something I hadn't noticed earlier), my admin relative url is being stuck in front of all the urls in the template. Trying to remove them does no good. This is very frustrating. Anybody?

I did some digging into the directory structure and found a way of doing this. I'm not saying its the right way, but one that worked for me. I found in my themes/default-bootstrap/modules/blockcategories/translations an en.php and changed the first line from Categories to Products $_MODULE['<{blockcategories}default-bootstrap>blockcategories_footer_af1b98adf7f686b84cd0b443e022b7a0'] = 'Products'; then I went into Advanced Parameters->Performance and clicked 'Clear Cache' in first Smarty section. this could backfire on me if this is a generated file from the admin tool but I feel its better than changing template.

I have also tried a bunch of things and have had no success. I am not keen on changing tpl file because it seems just wrong, especially since the admin console says "Here you can modify translations for every line of text inside PrestaShop.". I'm in a bit of disbelief. I've cleared smarty cache and looked in most all of the different translation types. I'm befuddled. If someone has a recipe for doing this the right way, pls provide since the recommendation here is not working.
