Magento email template location?

Question

I've been trying to send an email from my magento module but for some reason I can't get the template to work:

The template is set as follows:

$emailTemplate  = Mage::getModel('core/email_template')->loadDefault('application_status_email');

The headers and all are being sent correctly.

I've created a file called application_status_email.html in app/locale/en_US/template/email and the selected language on the admin panel is English(US). Thoughts?

The template itself simply contains:

<div>
Message:
{{var message}}
</div>

But for some reason my emails are sent without anything content. I have another module sending emails, but from the front end wich works fine, with the template located in the same folder ...

Remember to add your email template to the configuration files:

<global>
  <template>
    <email>                                                                   
      <application_status_email>
        <label>Application Status Message</label>
        <file>application_status_email.html</file>
        <type>html</type>
      </application_status_email>
    </email>
  </template>
</global>

Hope that helps!
