When I set up email transaction templates in Magento 1.5.1, it is not pulling the correct information into the template.
I have gone through and created and saved templates though the transactional email setup for each store. Each store has its own theme and should be pulling the logo and email in for that specific theme. However, when I send an email or preview it, it does not pull the correct logo, contact info, or email for that store. It is just bringing up the global information.
Are there specific variables that I must change to get this to work. Here is the code that is being used for the New Account template.
<body style="background:#F6F6F6; font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:12px; margin:0; padding:0;">
<div style="background:#F6F6F6; font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:12px; margin:0; padding:0;">

I am working with Magento 1.4.1 now. And there already all needed variables pulled from different store configurations based on which store some event was created. Yes, you need to change all specific settings in Admin > System > Configuration (emails, names), but don't forget to change the scope (in dropdown menu on a top left side of a page) of a settings being changed.
There is must be no hardcoded values in templates, all specific settings must be variables.
