The full documentation is at https://django-mail-viewer.readthedocs.io.
Install Django Mail Viewer:
pip install django-mail-viewer
Add it to your `INSTALLED_APPS`:
Add Django Mail Viewer's URL patterns:
Set your EMAIL_BACKEND in settings.py:
- TODO
Does the code actually work?
source <YOURVIRTUALENV>/bin/activate
(myenv) $ pip install tox
(myenv) $ tox
- Passthrough backend - store the email for display in the views but also pass to another backend which may actually send
- Redis backend using Redis specific functionality for cleaner code and less risk of bugs vs the django cache backend
- Memcached backend
- File based backend - store each email as its own file
- Other backends? ElasticSearch? MongoDB?
- Separate views for each of html, plaintext, attachements, etc. to allow for more customization of display?
