+## 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)

+syntax and shouldn't be touched without fully understanding these components.
