i remember this documented way to send HTML emails by sending a list of messages, first item in the list is plaintext, second item is HTML. http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/08#Combining-text-and-HTML-emails
actually, this is new to me, and apparently what you are using: http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/08#HTML-emails i would expect that you can use my response.render technique with the just HTML version that you used. i saw a note on another thread recently that you must start your template with <html> (no spaces or newlines at the top) to get it to work properly. let us know if you have further issues! cfh On Sunday, September 23, 2012 6:27:33 PM UTC-7, Pystar wrote: > > I havent tried your method, but I got it working in a rather hackish way > using simple string interpolation.This is what I did > > message = "<html><body>Dear %user, welcome to my site</body></html>" % > ("pystar") > mail.send(to="blabla", subject="blabla", message=message) > > That way, I can send HTML messages with inserted variables.
