Changing header in Emails

I am very definately a newby. I here talk of language variables ?
What I want to do is change the header in the emails from

You have received this notification from Custom Engravers because you are a registered user or you or some other registered user requested some information for you from our store.

to just a plain "Thank you for shopping with us"

I went to mail/html/mail_header.tpl and changed it. It looks like this:
{* $Id: mail_header.tpl,v 1.2 2004/05/28 12:21:02 max Exp $ *}

<FONT size="2">
{* Thank you for visiting our store *}
{$lng.eml_mail_header_part1}
{$config.Company.company_name}
{* Please com again.*}
{$lng.eml_mail_header_part2}
</FONT>

but it didn't make a difference. What did I do wrong. Thanks for any words of wisdom.

You are not using the tags correctly. the {* and *} are tags to comment out sections. So that means that you commented out the words that you wanted to insert.

Change from this:

Code:

{* $Id: mail_header.tpl,v 1.2 2004/05/28 12:21:02 max Exp $ *}





<FONT size="2">

{* Thank you for visiting our store *}

{$lng.eml_mail_header_part1}

{$config.Company.company_name}

{* Please com again.*}

{$lng.eml_mail_header_part2}

</FONT>

to this:

Code:

{* $Id: mail_header.tpl,v 1.2 2004/05/28 12:21:02 max Exp $ *}





<FONT size="2">

 Thank you for visiting our store

{*{$lng.eml_mail_header_part1}*}

{$config.Company.company_name}

Please com again.

{*{$lng.eml_mail_header_part2}*}

</FONT>

That comments out the two language variables {$lng.eml_mail_header_part1} and {$lng.eml_mail_header_part2}.

Alternatively, you could have also commented them out like this:
{*$lng.eml_mail_header_part2*}

I didn't know about the * . I don't know how much trouble you just saved me now and in all my future editing.
