Trouble sending HTML emails

Roughly 50% of the time that emails are sent, the email received is somehow corrupted.

Case in point:

contents = [f"""
    <p>We were asked to email you password reset instructions for Life Calendar. If you don't recall doing this and remember your passwords, you can safely ignore this email.</p>

    <p>If it <strong>was</strong> you, then you can head over <a href="http://localhost:5000/resetpassword/{generatedlink.decode("utf-8")}/">here</a> to reset your password.</p>

    <p>Having trouble clicking the link? Just paste the following link into your browser: http://localhost:5000/resetpassword/{generatedlink.decode("utf-8")}.</p>"""]

Thread(target=self.send_email, args=(email, "Password reset instructions from Life Calendar", contents)).start()

def send_email(self, to, subject, content):
        yag.send(to, subject, content)

This says that it is sent successfully - and it is indeed received. However, an odd error message pops up in the CLI:

 ... raise SMTPDataError(code, repl)
smtplib.SMTPDataError: (250, b'2.0.0 OK  1600629089 c8sm7186465ejp.30 - gsmtp')

Roughly half of the time that the email is sent, it is received strangely:

Is there any workaround to this or solution I'm missing?
