Comment:
Yeah, I traced the code and I was that avoiding sending an email with
newlines had to do with security.
However, I think that raising an undocumented exception is not the right
answer.
One option would be to document this problem clearly in send_mail's docs.
I don't think that's going to save many people from possible runtime
problems, but at least the behavior is documented.
I would propose that send_mail removes itself the newlines instead of
pushing that responsibility to each of its callers. I think it's
consistent with all the ORM methods being able to avoid SQL injection
instead of raising an undocumented exception if they receive non-escaped
values.
