you can use template files to add extra information in transaction email:

Lets take example of new order template:

you will find something like below in you email format/template files:

{{layout handle="sales_email_order_items" order=$order}}

search for your handle name in sales.xml

/app/design/frontend/default/layout/sales.xml

You will get something like this in you sales.xml files: 

<sales_email_order_items>
      <block type="sales/order_email_items" name="items" template="email/order/items.phtml">
          <action method="addItemRender"><type>default</type><block>sales/order_email_items_order_default</block><template>email/order/items/order/default.phtml</template></action>
          <action method="addItemRender"><type>grouped</type><block>sales/order_email_items_order_grouped</block><template>email/order/items/order/default.phtml</template></action>
      </block>
  </sales_email_order_items>

Above xml makes it clear that content is being generated by email/order/items.phtml template file, open that files and add the content that you want to include it's better to put this files in your current theme instead of chaning it in core.
