Send HTML e-mail in App Engine / Python?

Can you please give me a simple, and straightforward python example of sending an HTML e-mail using App Engine? Plaintext is straightforward, but I'm having difficulties with HTML tags.

See this document. This is what you wanted. http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/mail/emailmessagefields.html

html field of a email message. An HTML version of the body content, for recipients that prefer HTML email.

attachments field for email attachments.

I haven't tested this, so please forgive any little bugs. It's based on an example from the Google documentation: http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/mail/sendingmail.html

from google.appengine.api import mail

message = mail.EmailMessage(sender="Example.com Support <[email protected]>",
                            subject="Your account has been approved")

message.to = "Albert Johnson <[email protected]>"

message.body = """
Dear Albert:

Your example.com account has been approved.  You can now visit
http://www.example.com/ and sign in using your Google Account to
access new features.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

The example.com Team
"""

message.html = """
<html><head></head><body>

"""

message.send()
