I don't know about the specifics of your particular issues, but to
send HTML emails:
Create an instance of django.core.mail.EmailMultiAlternatives, passing
in your subject, text version of the email, from address, list of
recipients. Render your HTML version of the email, and attach it to
the email, and then send it.
eg:
from django.core.mail import EmailMultiAlternatives
msg = EmailMultiAlternatives('Subject', 'This is the text version',
'f...@address.com', [ 'recipie...@address.com',])
html_version = ...
msg.attach_alternative(html_version, 'text/html')
msg.send()
There are lots of 'gotchas' when sending HTML email. Don't expect
externally referenced resources to be available, don't expect styles
to work correctly in all UAs, don't expect any JS to work.
Cheers
