html email function to a large recipient list problem

[MikeKJ]

I have these functions to send update emails to a subscriber list 
(recipients) but for some reason I cannot seem to fathom it does:

Connect
Send Email A
Connect 
Connect
Send Email B
Send Email B
Connect 
Connect
Connect
Send Email C
Send Email C
Send Email C

etc etc

Can anyone see where the incrementing is happening because I can't.
Interestingly it seems that even though the logger says each email is sent 
multiple (by increment, like the 1000th address on the list theoretically 
should get the same email 1000 times) it doesnt, just the one email or so 
it appears, if anyone has an explanation for that as well I would be 
interested

Re: Embedding multiple images in html email

[Tim Chase]

> Can't you include the link and source within the html code of the email?

The problem then becomes that many email programs no longer 
display remote images inline unless the email comes from a 
trusted source.  It was a popular way to add tracking bugs to 
HTML emails, so MUAs began to disable the functionality.  To get 
around it, you have to include the image in the HTML-email itself 
as a named attachment, and then reference it with  as described at[1]

Don't forget that some folks fly with HTML email turned off or 
from mobile devices that may not support HTML email, so they will 
only see the plain-text version which you'll want to include. 
The images and HTML version will likely appear merely as attachments.

Re: Embedding multiple images in html email

[Angel Cruz]

Can't you include the link and source within the html code of the email?

for example, as a snippet:
.
.
.
html = """\

  
  blah blah blah
   
http://blah-blah-blah.com";>http://blah-blah-blah.com/media/img/blah-blah-whatver-image.png";
width=100%>

Blah-whatever-your-message-here




"""

# Record the MIME types of both parts - text/plain and text/html.
part1 = MIMEText(text, 'plain')
part2 = MIMEText(html, 'html')

# Attach parts into message container.
# According to RFC 2046, the last part of a multipart message, in this
case
# the HTML message, is best and preferred.
msg.attach(part1)
msg.attach(part2)

s = smtplib.SMTP(blah-blah-whatever-MY_SMTP_SERVER)
# sendmail function takes 3 arguments: sender's address, recipient's
address
# and message to send - here it is sent as one string.
s.sendmail(me, myRecipient, msg.as_string())
s.quit()
.
.
.

Since it is html, you can embed as many images as you want?

Embedding multiple images in html email

[Muhammed Abad]

As the topic says, can I embed multiple images in an html email
template so the recipient does not have to download them?

I know this might be a silly request, but a client has asked me to do
this for him and Im absolutely stumped.

The closest to a solution I have come to is this :
http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/1507/

If someone else can get this to work, please let me know.

Any other solution are welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Re: How do I add my template content to my html email?

[alex.gay...@gmail.com]

You can create  a template and render it the same way you would in a
view, checkout the render_to_string function(it's in django.template I
believe).

How do I add my template content to my html email?

[Michael]

Hello,
I able to send an html email using the code below:

///

def emaildiscount(request):
subject, from_email, to = 'hello', 'u...@domain.com',
'u...@domain.com'
text_content = 'This is an important message.'
html_content = 'This is an important message.'
msg = EmailMultiAlternatives(subject, text_content, from_email,
[to])
msg.attach_alternative(html_content, "text/html")
msg.send()

///

However, I've now created a .htm file that I want to use as the email
content.  The .htm template is over 100 lines long.  I don't think
pasting the code into the view is the smart thing to do.  Does django
allow the html_content variable to access my .htm file?

Thanks

But now I want to use HTML in the body of the email. How do I format

Re: HTML Email

[Julien]

Hi,

Sending HTML as an attachment means that the HTML version will be
displayed by email client that are configured so, including all the
web-based clients like GMail. Clients that can't show HTML or are
configured not to show HTML will show the text version instead.

This is therefore best practice and the recommended way to go.

Cheers,

Julien

Hi Rem,

I got this one off the cookbook a while back. You'll have to call it
after render, and it will return a text object suitable for sending.

import cStringIO, MimeWriter, mimetools

def createhtmlmail(subject, html, text=""):
"""Create a mime-message that will render HTML in popular
MUAs, text in better ones"""

out = cStringIO.StringIO() # output buffer for our message
htmlin = cStringIO.StringIO(html)

writer = MimeWriter.MimeWriter(out)
writer.addheader("Subject", subject)
writer.addheader("MIME-Version", "1.0")
writer.startmultipartbody("alternative")
writer.flushheaders()

#
# the plain text section
#
if text:
txtin = cStringIO.StringIO(text)
subpart = writer.nextpart()
subpart.addheader("Content-Transfer-Encoding",
"quoted-printable")
pout = subpart.startbody("text/plain", [("charset",
'us-ascii')])
mimetools.encode(txtin, pout, 'quoted-printable')
txtin.close()

#
# start the html subpart of the message
#
subpart = writer.nextpart()
subpart.addheader("Content-Transfer-Encoding", "quoted-printable")
pout = subpart.startbody("text/html", [("charset", 'us-ascii')])
mimetools.encode(htmlin, pout, 'quoted-printable')
htmlin.close()
writer.lastpart()
msg = out.getvalue()
out.close()
#print msg
return msg

hth,
