Ever had to change the signature or add a recipient to N hardcoded emails
spread all throughout your code? Hardcode no more! Use mailrobot instead.

pip install django-mailrobot

Add library to your INSTALLED_APPS in your settings:

INSTALLED_APPS += ['mailrobot']

$ ./manage.py syncdb

$ ./manage.py migrate mailrobot

With South:

$ ./manage.py schemamigration --initial mailrobot
$ ./manage.py migrate mailrobot

Usage
=====

Add mails and addresses through the django admin.

Fetch a mail-template:

template = Mail.objects.get(name='hello-world').

Fill it:

mail = template.make_template(
sender='Yep <[e-mail]'>,
recipients=('[e-mail]', u'Blåbærsyltetøy <[e-mail]>'),
context={'world': 'Mailrobot'}
)

Have a look:

print mail.message

Send it:

mail.send()

Niceties
========

In case you need to send an email somewhere else for
testing/debugging, clone an existing email in the admin: Select
it, choose "Clone selected mails" in the action list, hit "Go".
The clone will share everything with its original except the name,
which will be suffixed with a timestamp.

Edit the name of the clone to what you need, change recipients,
CCs, BCCs. Then, where you send the mail from, choose the clone if
settings.DEBUG is True.
