I want to mail a simple HTML file containing some data. I want the user to receive rendered HTML. I’ve tried this solution:

b = render_to_string('mail_body.html',{'name':request.POST['name']})
send_mail(email_subject,b,'sender@gmail.com', ['receiver@gmail.com'],
    fail_silently=False)

but I don’t get rendered HTML in the mail body and the user can see all of the HTML tags!

Alternatively, when I use the following code I just get the path of my HTML file in the mail body:

params = {}
params['name'] = request.POST['name']
context = Context(params)
t = Template('mail_body.html')
send_mail(email_subject,t.render(context), 'sender@gmail.com',
    ['receiver@gmail.com'], fail_silently=False)

    You could try something like this:

    from django.core.mail import EmailMultiAlternatives
body = render_to_string(template_name, locals(),
                      context_instance=RequestContext(request))
email = EmailMultiAlternatives(subject, body, mail_sender, [contact_request.email], headers={'Reply-To': 'do_not_reply@whatever.com'})
email.content_subtype='html'
email.send(fail_silently=False)

    Hope this leads into the right direction. Just note that there are a lot of variables in here which come from my own programming.
