I added my email template - 'dormant_email.html', 'dormant_email.txt' in mails\en folder

Answer 1

ok I solved this by adding the template file by creating mail.en folder in module folder ( modulename/emails/en/)
and by below code
if (!Mail::Send(
$this->context->language->id,
'dormant_email',
Mail::l('Hello Long Time No See ! Please Visit and Get a Chance to Win'),
$templateVars,
$dormantUserEmailID,
null, null, null, null, null, dirname(__FILE__).'/mails/', true, $this->context->shop->id))
die('0') ;echo "<script type=\"text/javascript\">alert('Email Send');</script>"; return true;
die('1');echo "<script type=\"text/javascript\">alert('Email not Send');</script>"; return false;
I am able to send email and use the template and it is been listing when I click on the
Localization->transalations -->modify transalations
select email template translations and select English and click modify button and in the modules when u expand your module the email template can be seen and can be edited by edit tool .
