This is the problem:
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
Notice you are extending mailing/template.html and you may have more
similar problems there.
This is subtle. auth.messages.reset_password is supposed to be a string
with placeholders like %(key)s. Internally the placeholders are replaced
using
message = auth.messages.reset_password % dict(key=....)
You generate auth.messages.reset_password using response.render and your
template include %" and perhaps other % symbols. So when web2py does
message = auth.messages.reset_password % dict(key=....)
it expects % to be an escape symbol for a placeholder but %" is an invalid
placeholder.
So what do you do? You must replace all % which are not placeholders with
%%. This can be automated:
1) define:
def fixit(text):
import re
return re.compile('(\%)[^(]').sub('%%',text)
2) In your code define:
auth.messages.reset_password = fixit(response.render(....))
et voila'.
