Changing The "dear _______" In Emails...

Store Builder Questions
1

…wondering how to specifically change the blank in “Dear ________” that is included at the top of all email notifications. Currently (for our older 2.x.x version), it inserts the first name of the Ship to: address. This is confusing when the actual customer who is doing the purchase (Bill to:) wants us to send the order to someone else (a gift, etc.).



So, I would like to change the field that is inserted in emails to the first name of the Bill to: address. What template and directory would this be, and what field/variable/etc are we talking about?



Have found nothing within forums for this, but pardon me if it has already been addressed. Thanks!

Thanks for the quick replies!



Alt - thanks much, that is the field I was looking for, and knew it had to be changed in that .tpl file. Looks like that will do it.
