concurrent approval

I have aquestion regarding the Concurrent_approval.wft, which i took out of the box, the documentation on this say that, there is an optional stage for email's to be sent to the approvers. there is this single line in the code which needs to be uncommneted for this to happen.
$succ_list =~ s/Approval/Email/g;
uncommneting this did not do me any good, i don't still see any emails sent to me or any approver. please let me know if this needs additional coding.
thanks

I've never played much with the OOTB workflows, as I've always found it easier to write them from scratch, but if you could post the job xml that is being generated when you start a job, that would help. It appears it is just changing the successorset from 'Approval' something to 'Email' something. But from the look of the wft file, there doesn't seem to be an Email task generated. If you could post the job xml generated, that would help. The easiest way to get this is to uncomment the following line:

Where in the docs is this stated? Which doc? What page?

Unless I'm completely missing something, there is no functionality built into that wft to insert an email task. I believe you are going to have to add that logic in yourself or potentially use a different OOTB wft? I'm not sure what's available, as I always write wft's from scratch. Good Luck!
