I found the Django documentation about testing E-mail services
confusing. It says here 
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.1/topics/testing/#e-mail-services
"Django's test runner automatically redirects all Django-sent e-mail
to a dummy outbox", but the example code shows using the 'mail' object
directly in the TestCase and not in the view like the documentation
states.

I am using "manage.py testserver" and Selenium to drive the browser.
When I have a test that triggers an email event, the email is sent and
not collected in the dummy outbox. Is this the expected behavior?
Would the behavior be different if I loaded the view using
django.test.client instead of through the testserver?

It would be nice of the testserver also used the dummy outbox, but at
a minimum I think the documentation should be clearer and perhaps give
a better example?

Cheers,
Ben
