Create a new email template header

Question

I want to create a different header template for sales emails i.e. header sales instead of the default header. The template files are defined in locale/LANG/template/email/html/ simply creating a new template file headersales.html and referencing it in the new order email template as

  {{template config_path="design/email/headersales"}}

Doesn't work. Are the template names defined somewhere else?

Paj,this should not work.

For this case you need to create handler and this handler will render the you phtml at local.xml at app/design/frontend/YOUR_PAackage/YOUR_template/layout

 <?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout version="0.1.0">
    <amit_customer_addhan>
        <block type="core/template" name="reviewreminder.email.items" template="Folderlocation/headersales.phtml" />
    </amit_customer_addhan>
</layout>

then on email html call this handler(locale/LANG/template/email/)

 {{layout handle="amit_customer_addhan" order=$order}}
