Yeah I've used the template engine for this before and it has worked well.
No complaints and it's relatively simple:
from django.core.mail import send_mail
from django.template import loader, Context
t = loader.get_template('my/template.txt')
send_mail('subject', t.render(Context(template_variables_dict)),
'f...@domain.com', recipient_list)
Just remember you can exclude a lot of that to outside the loop (eg: you
don't want to reload the template for every user and you might be able to
generate some of the template dictionary beforehand too)
And recipient_list will probably want to be just one person at a time -- but
it still has to be in list format. I'm saying all this, not because I think
you don't know this, but people that read this in the future (haha - users
searching before they ask!) might find it useful.
