Glad they worked well so far :-)

Sure, what I'd do is use the template to generate the html and render 
that to a message:

  msg = container.my_html_mail.as_message(
             mfrom='from at example.com',
             mto='to1 at example.com',
             subject='Your requested file',
             )

Then I'd add a Mimetext object with the plain text version:

from email.mime.text import MIMEText
msg.attach(MIMEText(text_version_of_your_message))

And finally send the message:

msg.send()

Of course, the "fun" bit is generating the plain text version of the 
message from the html version.

You might try stripogram for that:

...but your milleage may vary (a lot!)

cheers,

Chris
