"""Functions used to send email messages.

The following are the possible fields of an email message:

  sender: The email address of the sender, the From address. This must be the
    email address of a registered administrator for the application, or the
    address of the current signed-in user. Administrators can be added to
    an application using the Administration Console. The current user's email
    address can be determined with the Users API.
  to: A recipient's email address (a string) or a list of email addresses to
    appear on the To: line in the message header.
  cc: A recipient's email address (a string) or a list of email addresses to
    appear on the Cc: line in the message header.
  bcc: A recipient's email address (a string) or a list of email addresses to
    receive the message, but not appear in the message header ("blind carbon
    copy").
  reply_to: An email address to which a recipient should reply instead of the
    sender address, the Reply-To: field.
  subject: The subject of the message, the Subject: line.
  body: The plaintext body content of the message.
  html: An HTML version of the body content, for recipients that
    prefer HTML email.
  attachments: The file attachments for the message, as a list of two-value
    tuples, one tuple for each attachment. Each tuple contains a filename as
    the first element, and the file contents as the second element.
    An attachment file must be one of the allowed file types, and the
    filename must end with an extension that corresponds with the type.
    For a list of allowed types and filename extensions, see Allowed
    Attachment Types.

Usage:

  context = { 'sender': 'melange-noreply@example.com',
              'to': 'test@example.com',
              'subject': 'You have been invited to become a Host',
              'sender_name': 'Alice',
              'to_name': 'Melange Team',
              'role': 'Host',
              'group': 'Google Summer of Code 2009',
              'invitation_url': 'http://invitation-url'}
