hi I'm badly unfamiliar to silverstripe.
I copied the newsletter.ss which I found in "mysite/templates/email" and I saved it as newsletter-august.ss. I just added a special image. But apart from this it is identic to the newsletter.ss.
If I coose it in my new newlsetter-type and I make a new draft and klick on "Preview this newsletter" - nothing is shown!!

Can anybody tell me, what I forgot?
Or what I did wrong?
That what I understood to do from the documentation.

Thank you so much fpr an answer!

Have you tried a flush as the SilverStripe templates are cached and need to be flushed when they are updated.
See the info from [ur]http://doc.silverstripe.org/framework/en/tutorials/1-building-a-basic-site

Flushing the cache

Whenever we edit a template file, we need to append ?flush=1 onto the end of the URL, e.g. http://localhost/your_site_name/?flush=1. SilverStripe stores template files in a cache for quicker load times. Whenever there are changes to the template, we must flush the cache in order for the changes to take effect.

Also it is always good to include the code you are using in the post so we can see if there is anything wrong.
Using something like http://www.sspaste.com/ is always good
