Comment:
Thank you all for your great work on this patch. However, I'm struggling a
bit to see the value of adding this much new code for something that is
already quite easily achievable using `render_to_string()` and separate
templates.
I do agree that creating html+plain emails is still a little too hard in
Django, but in my opinion this could be simplified by introducing a new
helper class wrapping around `EmailMultiAlternatives` and providing a
simpler API and sensible defaults. For example, something like:
`HTMLEmailMessage(body_plain='...', body_html='...')`
In any case, I personally think that any template rendering should be left
to the user to do separately (for example by using `render_to_string()`).
For now I'm marking this ticket as DDN instead of wontfixing so that more
discussion can occur.
