I always create HTML emails. I've used 3 different methods over the years.
1. Write the HTML using python string formatting 2. Use the Python Dominate package to build the HTML strings - https://github.com/Knio/dominate 3. Use web2py templating - http://www.web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/08/emails-and-sms#Using-the-template-system-to-generate-messages I think the web2py templating is the easiest and most natural way to do it for web2py coders. -Jim On Tuesday, September 20, 2016 at 7:31:55 AM UTC-5, Anthony wrote: > > Hard to say without seeing an example.
