Changing default email message

How do I change the email message that is sent to an applicant after he is approved for membership? I want to change both (1) the subject line and (2) the text message.

I have searched through the definitions.php file to no avail.

    in the same folder a definitions.php there are some .txt files containing the emails.

    Thanks. If it was a snake, it would have bitten me! The email "role change" message has been successfully changed, but none of the .txt files control the subject line of the email. How do I change the subject line of the email message (for role change)?

    not in the dictionary?

    Yep, thanks. I finally found it under $Context->Dictionary['AccountChangeNotification'] on line 332.

    Maybe Vanilla should have FAQ wiki, where users can contribute how to do certain things (in Q & A format). For example:

    Q: How do I change the subject line for the outgoing email message when someone changes from Applicant to Member?
    A: Change Line 332 in definitions.php

    that way each person doesn't have to scour through lines of code, experimenting until they finally find the correct solution. Just a thought. :-)

    Thanks WallPhone. I'll add some stuff to it. Maybe they could put the FAQ at the top of the page for us "old folks" with vision problems. ;-)
