Comment (by Thomas Güttler):
Yes, I can use `attach_file()`, but this would mean I have to use a new
useless variable.
I would like to use this:
{{{
EmailMessage(...).send()
}}}
BTW, we had difficulties to implement sending of HTML mails which contain
inline images AND attached pdf files.
See: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/40389103/create-html-mail-with-
inline-image-and-pdf-attachment/40420648#40420648
This is toilet paper programming: wrapping, wrapping, wrapping, but inside
still the same dirty stuff.
Don't get me wrong it is not your fault.
Why does this code (creating mails) exist in django at all? Since the API
in python is not user friendly. I wanted
to use a different word first, but Python folks use different language
(unlike linux kernel hackers).
Back to topic. Please have a look at the ascii art in the stackoverflow
answer.
Up to now you can't easily create mails with this structure in Django. It
would be even better if you could
create them easily in python (without django).
