Question

I’m using the django helper method send_mail, which might be the problem, but I cannot tell from the docs if that is the case.

So – here is my method:

send_mail('Alert!', theEmail.format(user.username),'[e-mail]',
        [user.email], fail_silently=False)

And theEmail looks like this:

theEmail = “””

Hi {0}!
Here is an alert email

And here is a link: a link in time

But when i run this code, the email sends fine – but in gmail, the message is printed with all the tags visible.

Is there some sort of “send as html” thing i’m meant to do ?

Answer 1

try something like:

from django.core.mail import EmailMessage

msg = EmailMessage(subject, html, from_email, [recipients])
msg.content_subtype = 'html'
msg.send()
