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.

Not really caring about attachments, or images. Just basic HTML functionality, like <hr> <b>, etc

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
