Django email message as HTML

I have an email template that I use to send emails of different kinds. I'd rather not keep multiple email HTML templates, so the best way to handle this is to customize the message contents. Like so:

def email_form(request):
    html_message = loader.render_to_string(
            'register/email-template.html',
            {
                'hero': 'email_hero.png',
                'message': 'We\'ll be contacting you shortly! If you have any questions, you can contact us at <a href="#">meow@something.com</a>',
                'from_email': 'lala@lala.com',
            }
        )
    email_subject = 'Thank you for your beeswax!'
    to_list = 'johndoe@whatever.com'
    send_mail(email_subject, 'message', 'from_email', [to_list], fail_silently=False, html_message=html_message)
    return

When the email is sent however, the html codes don't work. The message appears as it is exactly, angled brackets and all. Is there a way for me to force it to render as HTML tags?

Use EmailMessage to do it with less trouble:

First import EmailMessage:

from django.core.mail import EmailMessage

Then use this code to send html email:

email_body = """\
    <html>
      <head></head>
      <body>
        <h2>%s</h2>
        <p>%s</p>
        <h5>%s</h5>
      </body>
    </html>
    """ % (user, message, email)
email = EmailMessage('A new mail!', email_body, to=['someEmail@gmail.com'])
email.content_subtype = "html" # this is the crucial part 
email.send()

You can use EmailMultiAlternatives feature present in django instead of sending mail using send mail. Your code should look like the below snipet.

from django.core.mail import EmailMultiAlternatives

def email_form(request):
    html_message = loader.render_to_string(
            'register/email-template.html',
            {
                'hero': 'email_hero.png',
                'message': 'We\'ll be contacting you shortly! If you have any questions, you can contact us at <a href="#">meow@something.com</a>',
                'from_email': 'lala@lala.com',
            }
        )
    email_subject = 'Thank you for your beeswax!'
    to_list = 'johndoe@whatever.com'
    mail = EmailMultiAlternatives(
            email_subject, 'This is message', 'from_email',  [to_list])
    mail.attach_alternative(html_message, "text/html")
    try:
        mail.send()
    except:
        logger.error("Unable to send mail.")

Solved it. Not very elegant, but it does work. In case anyone's curious, the variable placed in the email template should be implemented as so:

{{ your_variable|safe|escape }}

Then it works! Thanks guys!
