I have been asked to add the amount of the recurring donation to the copy of the special e-mail that donors receive when they set up a recurring donation. Since the "display amount" functionality is already in the receipt e-mail, I thought it would be as simple as doing as it does and invoking $amount|crmMoney:$currency - but that does not actually work, it just gives me a blank space in the message. Can anyone help me figure out how to achieve this, please?
