I havent tried your method, but I got it working in a rather hackish way
using simple string interpolation.This is what I did
message = "<html><body>Dear %user, welcome to my site</body></html>" %
("pystar")
mail.send(to="blabla", subject="blabla", message=message)
That way, I can send HTML messages with inserted variables. But it would
have been great if sending HTML emails worked out of the box
