Sending alternative content types
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
It is often useful to include multiple versions of the content in an e-mail.
|
||||
For instance, sending both text and HTML versions of an e-mail. You can do
|
||||
this using the ``EmailMultiAlternatives`` class. This sub-class of
|
||||
``EmailMessage`` has an ``attach_alternative()`` method for including
|
||||
extra versions of the message body in the e-mail. All the other methods
|
||||
(including the class initialization) are inherited directly from
|
||||
It can be useful to include multiple versions of the content in an e-mail;
|
||||
the classic example is to send both text and HTML versions of a message. With
|
||||
Django's e-mail library, you can do this using the ``EmailMultiAlternatives``
|
||||
class. This subclass of ``EmailMessage`` has an ``attach_alternative()`` method
|
||||
for including extra versions of the message body in the e-mail. All the other
|
||||
methods (including the class initialization) are inherited directly from
|
||||
``EmailMessage``.
|
||||
|
||||
To send a text and HTML combination, you could write::
|
||||
|
||||
from django.core.mail import EmailMultiAlternatives
|
||||
|
||||
subject, from_email, to = ...
|
||||
text_content = "This is an important message."
|
||||
html_content = "<p>This is an <strong>important</strong> message."
|
||||
subject, from_email, to = 'hello', 'from@example.com', 'to@example.com'
|
||||
text_content = 'This is an important message.'
|
||||
html_content = '<p>This is an <strong>important</strong> message.'
|
||||
msg = EmailMultiAlternatives(subject, text_content, from_email, to)
|
||||
msg.attach_alternative(html_content, "text/html")
|
||||
msg.send()
|
||||
|
||||
By default, the MIME type of the ``body`` parameter in an ``EmailMessage`` is
|
||||
``"text/plain"``. It is good practice to leave this alone, since it guarantees
|
||||
that any recipient will be able to read the e-mail, regardless of their mail
|
||||
client. However, if you are confident that your recipients can handle an
|
||||
alternative content type, you can use the ``content_subtype`` attribute on the
|
||||
``EmailMessage`` class to change the main content type. The major type will
|
||||
always be ``"text"``, but you can change to the subtype. For example::
|
||||
``"text/plain"``. It is good practice to leave this alone, because it
|
||||
guarantees that any recipient will be able to read the e-mail, regardless of
|
||||
their mail client. However, if you are confident that your recipients can
|
||||
handle an alternative content type, you can use the ``content_subtype``
|
||||
attribute on the ``EmailMessage`` class to change the main content type. The
|
||||
major type will always be ``"text"``, but you can change it to the subtype. For
|
||||
example::
|
||||
|
||||
msg = EmailMessage(subject, html_content, from_email, to)
|
||||
msg.content_subtype = "html" # Main content is now text/html
