These two were fixed very quickly after my message. :-)
They both now default to English.

With "Accept-Language: fi", I get

   * Email.html.en Q= 0.01
   * Email.html.fr Q= 0.01

Without Accept-Language, I get

   * Email.html.en Q= 1.0
   * Email.html.fr Q= 1.0

No, the response is 300 "Multiple Choices".

to English, and (at least) Email.html gives this rather cryptic answer.
