Hi there, Can you put or send me an example how to use this code? What do i throw into 'localize_html_email_images(???)'. I guess the rendered html template but i'm not sure.

Here is how I have used it in my code:

def send_html_email(template, context, title, recipients, text_template = None):
    from django.template import loader, Context
    from django.conf import settings
    import os.path

    t = loader.get_template(template)
    html_content = t.render(Context(context))

    if (text_template):
        t = loader.get_template(text_template)
        text_content = t.render(Context(context))
    else:
        from html2text import html2text

        text_content = html2text(html_content)

    from django.core.mail import EmailMultiAlternatives, EmailMessage

    subject, from_email = title, server_email()

    if isinstance(recipients, basestring):
        to = [recipients]
    else:
    to = recipients

    msg = EmailMessage(subject, html_content, from_email,
         to)
    msg.content_subtype = "html"  # Main content is now text/html

    localize_html_email_images(msg)

    if 'attachments' in context:
        for att in context['attachments']:
            msg.attach_file(os.path.join(settings.MEDIA_ROOT, att ))

    if 'file_attachments' in context:
        for att in context['file_attachments']:
            msg.attach_file(att)

    msg.send()
