title: django - gmail shows the raw html of an email (ie the tag)
body: <p>I'm using the django helper method send_mail, which might be the problem, but I cannot tell from the docs if that is the case.</p>
  
  <p>So - here is my method:</p>
  
  <pre><code>send_mail('Alert!', theEmail.format(user.username),'admin@site.com',
          [user.email], fail_silently=False)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And theEmail looks like this:</p>
  
  <p>theEmail = """
  
  
  
  
  
  Hi {0}! <br/> Here is an alert email
  <br/>
  And here is a link: a link in time
  
  
  
  <p>But when i run this code, the email sends fine - but in gmail, the message is printed with all the tags visible. </p>
  
  <p>Is there some sort of "send as html" thing i'm meant to do ?</p>
