Ok, I solved it. The trick is that message is first text, then html. So the
signature should read like this:
context = dict(x=y)
message = response.render("message.html", context)
***Please note that the message.html file should be in the top level of
your views folder or should be a absolute path to it.
mail.send(to=[recipient],subject='subject',message=message)
will result in a text message.
to render as html, is :
mail.send(to=[recipient],subject='subject',message=[None,message])
