Friends management e-mail templates

In the E-mail templates application, you can find the following e-mail templates related to the Friends application:

• Friends - Friend approval - template for e-mail or message confirming that a user approved your friendship request.
• Friends - Friend rejection - template for e-mail or message confirming that a user rejected your friendship request.
