I've tried to edit the email template as suggested (Edit/Preferences/Send Forms/Company Preferences, but it won't let me save any of the changes I make. I keep getting the message "Stock template can't be modified". Why is this happening?

I've created a custom template to email my invoices in "batch", however, the custom template is not being used, even though it is set as the default. I've tried the workarounds that I found in Help, copy and paste the message from the template directly into the email and deselecting and selecting the "email later" check box, but neither are working for me. Both of these methods are not user-friendly either. Is there a fix coming for this? Batch email is a very useful tool and I don't understand why this is even an issue.
