HTML emails are not supported

[BradWhittington]

Do you have a copy of the error the API throws? I am using the MIME api, so I can send a raw mime message...which implies HTML parts should be acceptable, as with any other encoding...

[BradWhittington]

I have just successfully sent a multi-part (HTML and plaintext) email using this transport. I don't think the API end point is the issue here...

I must have been doing it wrong. I tried sending an emdash HTML entity and got "—". Do I need to wrap HTML content in an HTML tag?

[BradWhittington]

Can you give a code sample?

[exupero]

from django.core.mail import send_mail

send_mail('A Comment', '—from me', '[email protected]', ['[email protected]'], fail_silently=True)

[BradWhittington]

Running that code, it sends an email fine. IT is not encoded as HTML because you haven't created an HTML email. It won't magically be HTML, and the default of that convenience method is to send plaintext.

You should look at the django docs for sending email - https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/email/ specifically https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/email/#sending-alternative-content-types (basically you need to create a relevant EmailMessage).

Alternatively, simplifying sending html/multi-part emails is the focus of one of my other projects - https://github.com/bradwhittington/django-templated-email </shameless plug>

Thanks for the pointer to the Django docs! That's what I needed! I really appreciate your help.
