Hi Mathias,

Not sure if this is your problem, but as far as I know, if the template
matching your action name doesn't exist (even if you don't use it)
extbase/fluid won't render it.  So for instance if you have updateAction(),
which renders an email and then redirects to another action, update.html
still has to exist (though it can be blank) in order to get your email html
to render.  In my opinion this is a bug..

HTH,
Christine
