[FIXED] How to include newline in email message using send_mail and django?

Issue

I would like to send email message with newlines. Let say, by following code:

send_mail("subject", "Hi  George\n Thanks for registration", "from", "to")

I expect:

Hi George

Thanks for registration

Whereas that what I get is: Hi George\n Thanks for registration

Email is send to a gmail account if that matters.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Solution

The best way you can accomplish that is by puting the mail text in template and use django template loader to render it with context.

from django.template.loader import render_to_string
context = {}  # Fill it with your context
send_mail(
    'Subject',
    render_to_string('core/emails/email.txt', context),
    'sender@mail.com',
    ['receiver@mail.com'],
    fail_silently=False)
