Thanks for the reply, Django password_reset view used send_mail()
which seem to send only text. apparently you have to use
EmailMultiAlternatives as you pointed out to send html content guess I
will have to create my own view and use this instead if I want to send
html. Then again it is probably a good idea to send password reset
information in plant text. Since it pretty any email client would be
able to read plain text.

Thanks again
