String replace isn't a good idea because you'll have to restore old strings or create a backup file to be able to change them another time, also it won't be asynchrone and it will cause a problem in every way! you can do it much easier and more cleaner:

just go to your mail options and add context with your variables:

var mailOptions = {
  from: 'nginx-iwnl@gmail.com',
  to: 'username@gmail.com',
  subject: 'Sending email',
  template: 'yourTemplate',
  context: {                  // <=
    username: username,
    whatever: variable
  }
};

next thing to do is openning your html file and call your variables like:

{{username}}
