Thanks for quick reply. Yes, the second solution seems to work, I commented out the first two lines though. But it sent a reminder and inserted an Y into my database. Need to test it more but we are almost there.

But it still does not include mail templates. I receive a mail with only product listing and bottom signature. Link is ok.

I get this in my log:
Warning: Smarty error: unable to read resource: "skin/common_files/mail/salutation.tpl" in /var/www/...
but it is there and always has been.
Second, the mail template uses a different coding for some reason.
Could you help me with that?
