Hi,

What the best practice to modify/customize the text in the email templates for new user signup ? I am using a mailgun equivalent to send emails.

I mean modyfing this:

# Welcome

**Blog Name** is using Ghost to publish things on the internet! Admin User has invited you to join. Please click on the link below to activate your account.

**No idea what Ghost is?** It’s a simple, beautiful platform for running an online blog or publication. Writers, businesses and individuals from all over the world use Ghost to publish their stories and ideas.

There’s not currently a way to change those email templates without modifying core.

Thanks for the swift answer.  
Can I assume that I need to fork Ghost and install on a stand alone server ?
