Improve our user emails with templates.

[kmeht]

Currently, we directly email the user with a short string. Instead, we can offer longer, richer emails with templates. It requires a bit of extra code, so it'd best to abstract this functionality into a utility.

We can then have a separate template directory for our emails, and then send them with whatever utility we create to wrap them.

StackOverflow had a really informative answer on how to achieve this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2809547/creating-email-templates-with-django.

@patilpranay, this is the email templates task we mentioned earlier. I'll post some possibly useful documentation links in a bit.

Here's a bunch of documentation that'll help you get started. This would be really great to get in before registration opens.

• Template basics: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/ref/templates/api/#basics
• The render_to_string shortcut: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/ref/templates/api/#the-render-to-string-shortcut
• The User.email_user method: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/ref/contrib/auth/#django.contrib.auth.models.User.email_user
• General email stuff: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/topics/email/
• Testing email: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/topics/testing/tools/#topics-testing-email

This won't be done by registration opening; punting to a later milestone.
