Description (last modified by Adrian Holovaty)

The example script for EmailMultiAlternatives at ​http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/email/ is incorrect.

You need to surround the to with [], otherwise you get an error can't add a string to a list.

from django.core.mail import EmailMultiAlternatives

subject, from_email, to = 'hello', 'from@example.com', 'to@example.com'
text_content = 'This is an important message.'
html_content = '<p>This is an <strong>important</strong> message.'
msg = EmailMultiAlternatives(subject, text_content, from_email, to)
msg.attach_alternative(html_content, "text/html")
msg.send()
