[Django]-Django Forms : Make some text sent by form to email appear bold

✅

In Django 1.7, send_mail() accepts an html_message argument:

If html_message is provided, the resulting email will be
a multipart/alternative email with message as the text/plain content
type and html_message as the text/html content type.

Example:

send_mail('Subject', 'Content', 'sender@example.com', ['nobody@example.com'], 
          html_message='This is <b>HTML</b> Content')

For Django<1.7, you can either use a solution suggested here, or use a third-party, like django-email-html.

Also, there is another third-party package that you should consider using – django-mail-templated. It basically allows you to describe your email messages in django templates. Additionally, it allows to send html messages defined in html block in the template.

For example:

  • create a template

    {% block subject %}
Email subject
{% endblock %}

{% block body %}
This is a plain text.
{% endblock %}

{% block html %}
This is <b>HTML</b> Content.
{% endblock %}

  • and send it:

    from mail_templated import send_mail
send_mail('my_template.tpl', {}, from_email, [user.email])

Hope that helps.
