Thanks a lot Anthony and Niphlod.
That was a big help - I'll give that a go.
I did customize the password reset message, and thought I would post it
here if it would be helpful to anyone.
Any suggestions / optimizations are welcome.
The default settings email send an email like this:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

From: [email protected]
To: [email protected]
Subject: Password reset

I researched dozens of such emails from github, 37 signals etc.
and decided on this format. - plain text.
I know I could use HTML email...
If the string body starts with <html and ends with </html>, it will be sent
as a HTML email.
but, I decided to go with plain text...
*See Research:

Also, I got logging to work on my Mac, and that was very helpful for
testing.
i.e.
mail.settings.server = 'logging'
*in db.py
