I am trying to send a file as an attachment in an email, the file is submitted through a web form. My views.py is as shown below, the problem I am facing is the attached file when seen in the outlook mail doesn't have any content in it. Is there something that I am missing here? if request.method == 'POST': form = RequestForm(request.POST, request.FILES) if form.is_valid(): form.save() messages.info(request, '') subject = 'abc' message = 'xyz' attachment = request.FILES['attachment'] mail = EmailMessage(subject, message, '', ['']) mail.attach(attachment.name, attachment.read(), attachment.content_type) mail.send()
