Actually, the email was not the "automatic renewal" email in the workflow of the plan but the text from the "manual renewal" I have included the description below but what I'm trying to figure out is how just looking at their user in the user management triggered this and also why it sent so many copies of the email.
Thanks,
Stan
Email at each manual renewal
This is the email that can be sent when someone renews manualy this subscription (not the first time), by either having his corresponding payment completed, or for free periods or subscriptions, having the subscription re-activated. Leave blank for no email sent.
