Question

Are there examples of sending simple HTML formatted emails (<h1>, <b> and such) out from Plone?

Plain text is well-covered, but there are no HTML email out examples.

Answer 1

You can adapt any of the many python email module examples. Because HTML email usually means sending multipart/alternative messages, things get a little more complicated.

• The examples page of the email package.
• Sending HTML email using Python
• Sending Multipart html emails which contain embedded images

You basically have to construct an email.Message object and pass that to Mailhost.send.
