 Hi All,

 I have a string var containing some HTML code

 links = lia href='app_path/view/user_a'user_a/a/li
 I am passing this variable to response.render function as: 

 context_dict = dict(links=links)
 message = response.render(invite_friend.html,context_dict)

 # Send mail code below

 In invite_friend.html I have the code:

 html
 Hello there, 
 ul
 {{=links}}
 ul
 /html

 When the mail is sent, the email message is rendered as below:

 Hello there, 
 lia href='app_path/view/user_a'user_a/a/li

 instead of

 Hello there,

- user_a http://#


 How to render the above mail properly ?? I am working on GAE and 
 mail.settings.server is set to 'gae'

Here's your original method:

 links = lia href='app_path/view/user_a'user_a/a/li
 print response.render('invite_friend.html', dict(links=links))
html
Hello there, 
ul
lt;ligt;lt;a href=
#x27;app_path/view/user_a#x27;gt;user_alt;/agt;lt;/ligt;
ul
/html

As you can see, the HTML tags in links are getting escaped in the call to 
response.render(), so the HTML displays literally in the output instead of 
being rendered as HTML. Now, here it is wrapping the links HTML in XML():

 links = XML(lia href='app_path/view/user_a'user_a/a/li)
 print response.render('invite_friend.html', dict(links=links))
html
Hello there, 
ul
lia href='app_path/view/user_a'user_a/a/li
ul
/html

Now the links HTML is being rendered properly. One problem I notice, 
though, is that your have ul instead of /ul to close the list -- maybe 
that's why it's still not rendering as you expect.

[howesc]

are you sending the string as the HTML part of the email:

send(to=customer.email,
 subject=Plain text subject,
 message=(text_message, html_message)


both my messages are from response.render (and neither sent through XML()).
