Comment (by Mike Edmunds):
Expanding on Jacob's response: `send_mail()` is one of the oldest
functions in Django and there's a lot of reluctance to change its
behavior. (You'll find comments in the code indicating its API is
"frozen.")
Django's `EmailMessage` class is a newer API that supports additional
features and more flexible usage. All of its parameters, including
`from_email`, are optional. So you can write:
{{{#!python
from django.core.mail import EmailMessage
EmailMessage(to=["[email protected]"], subject="quick note").send()
}}}
to send a message using the `DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL` with an empty body.
