Django: How to send HTML emails with embedded images
How can I send HTML emails with embedded images? How the HTML should link to the images? The images should be added as MultiPart email attach?
Any example is very appreciated.
I achieved what op is asking for using django's mailing system. Upsides it that it'll use django settings for mailing (including a different subsystem for testing, etc. I also use mailhogs during development). It's also quite a bit higher level:
from django.conf import settings
from django.core.mail import EmailMultiAlternatives
message = EmailMultiAlternatives(
subject=subject,
body=body_text,
from_email=settings.DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL,
to=recipients,
**kwargs
)
message.mixed_subtype = 'related'
message.attach_alternative(body_html, "text/html")
message.attach(logo_data())
message.send(fail_silently=False)
logo_data
is a helper function that attaches the logo (the image I wanted to attach in this case):
from email.mime.image import MIMEImage
from django.contrib.staticfiles import finders
@lru_cache()
def logo_data():
with open(finders.find('emails/logo.png'), 'rb') as f:
logo_data = f.read()
logo = MIMEImage(logo_data)
logo.add_header('Content-ID', '<logo>')
return logo

You have to use MultiPart and cid:. It is almost always a bad idea to send html mails with images. It gives spam points to your mail and smtp server ...
