+## Customizing Gitea mails
+
+The `custom/templates/mail` folder allows changing the body of every mail of Gitea.
+Templates to override can be found in the
+[`templates/mail`](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/tree/master/templates/mail)
+directory of Gitea source.
+Override by making a copy of the file under `custom/templates/mail` using a
+full path structure matching source.
+
+Any statement contained inside `{{` and `}}` are Gitea's template
+syntax and shouldn't be touched without fully understanding these components.

 Google Analytics, Matomo (previously Piwik), and other analytics services can be added to Gitea. To add the tracking code, refer to the `Other additions to the page` section of this document, and add the JavaScript to the `custom/templates/custom/header.tmpl` file.
