I just figured this one out: Basically in the view I had the following just before calling the save method on the database: object.email_template = form.cleaned_data['email_message']
instead of object.email_message = form.cleaned_data['email_message'] The strange thing is that the data was actually being stored in the correct field in the database, and was coming out correctly, but something went haywire when I tried to wrap it in a message.
