Got Solution.It works:

Go to EmailTemplates.php

Step1::
===========
Modified your module here

$loopControl = array(
'Contacts' => array(
'Contacts' => $contact,
'Leads' => $lead,
'Prospects' => $prospect,
),
'Accounts' => array(
'Accounts' => $account,
),
'Users' => array(
'Users' => $current_user,
),
);

$prefixes = array(
'Contacts' => 'contact_',
'Accounts' => 'account_',
'Users' => 'contact_user_',
);


Step 2::
===========
Go to /EmailTemapltes/EditView.php

modify the drop down list.

$dropdown="<option value='Accounts'>
".$mod_strings['LBL_ACCOUNT']."
</option>
<option value='Contacts'>

The solution provided above worked for me and my custom modules. I'm now working on pulling related opportunity data into an email template. I haven't gotten it to work yet.
