Edit Email template

Is it possible to edit the email templates which we define in Salesforce. I want to edit the HTML Email template and send further.
Please suggest how to achieve this.

Hi Manav,

You can use the following line of code to retrieve the current HTML Value of the Email Template that you wish to modify before sending it further.
Once you get the initial HTML value you can manipulate it as required and then send the email. 
String TemplateName = 'XXXXX'; //--- Provide the Email Template Name here which needs to be modified
EmailTemplate et = [select Id, HtmlValue from EmailTemplate where DeveloperName = :TemplateName];

String ModifiedBody = et.HTMLValue; //--- Now you can modify the body which is present in ModifiedBody appropriately

Hi Anupan,
Sounds interesting but where do you use this code?
Will this allow editing of the template as you are composing an email?
Regards,
Dave.

OK.  None of this is helping me.  Where is "Adminitration Setup"?  and do I have to use code to accomplish this?  If so, where is that entered?  When I go to "Set Up" and I see an option for "Email" there, but when I click it (or not), the whole program crashes and kicks me back to a login screen.... :(  HELP please!
