title: Sending a html email in Django
body: <p>Since Django 1.7 has come out things have changed a bit. 
  Im trying to use 'send_mail' to send a HTML email. </p>
  
  <p>I want to send a thank you email to users after signing up to my site. </p>
  
  <p>Im using</p>
  
  <pre><code>subject = 'Thank you from ******'
  message = 'text version of HTML message'
  from_email = my email address
  to_list = users email address
  html_message= really long set of html code
  
  send_mail(subject,message,from_email,to_list,fail_silently=True,html_message=html_message) 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is it possible to store the html as a file on the server and then convert it into a string so that it can be fed into 'html_message'? </p>
