use_tls is not passed to send_email (django.core.mail)

[anonymous]

As for revision 6660 you cannot pass use_tls to send_email function.
Patch is simple:

max@explorer ~/devel/django-inst/trunk/django/core $ svn diff mail.py

Closing wontfix for the following reasons:

1. send_mail() exists as a backwards-compatible wrappper around EmailMessage and SMTPConnection.
2. send_mail() is not intended to provide every conceivable feature of the classes it wraps.
3. We have in the past chosen not to add additional features to send_mail(), preferring instead to direct people toward using EmailMessage and SMTPConnection directly.
