So far I have created mail templates only plain text. In this case I
have a Fluid template MyMail.txt and in this template file I just have a
<f:translate
key="LLL:EXT:my_ext/Resources/Private/Language/locallang.xml:myMailBody"
arguments="{0:'Pankaj', 1:'Lele'}" htmlEscape="FALSE" /> and in the
locallang.xml for the myMailBody key I have the full text I wanted to
send as e-mail body. e.g.

"Hello %s %s,

This is test e-mail.

Team.
"

And then just translate the text from the locallang.xml.

This approach works very well when you have only plain text e-mails. Not
sure about html mails though. But maybe from this you can get some idea :)
