That's where "MultiValueDict" comes from. See http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/request_response/#querydict-objects for more. (Technically request.POST is a QueryDict, which is a subclass of MultiValueDict -- that's why the docs say QueryDict, not MultiValueDict.) If your request.POST is displayed as <MultiValueDict: {}>, that means request.POST is empty. If request.POST had something in it, it'd look like this: <MultiValueDict: {'senderemail': ['test@test.com'], 'message': ['foo']}> Adrian -- Adrian Holovaty holovaty.com | djangoproject.com | chicagocrime.org
