Create New Email From Django Admin

[MrAlexWinkler]

I'd really appreciate if there was a way to create a new email (not template) from the django admin. So one could send out a new newsletter at any time. Just something super simple to not have to use code.

When trying to set this up I get error that Email model is already registered in admin:

from django import forms
from django.contrib import admin
from post_office.models import Email
from post_office.admin import EmailAdmin

class CustomEmailForm(forms.ModelForm):

    class Meta:
        model = Email
        fields = '__all__'

class CustomEmailAdmin(EmailAdmin):
    form = CustomEmailForm

admin.site.unregister(Email)
admin.site.register(Email, CustomEmailAdmin)

In essence; with django post_office how to send emails manually from admin website and not with application logic?

I got it to work with code below. If this was added as part of the default package I think it would make a lot of sense.

urls.py

from emailapi.admin import send_email_view

urlpatterns = [
    ...
    path('send_email/', send_email_view, name='send_email'),
]

admin.py

from django.contrib import admin, messages
from django.shortcuts import render, redirect
from django.http import HttpResponse
from django import forms

def send_email_view(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = EmailCreationForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            email_data = form.cleaned_data
            mail.send(
                recipients=email_data['to'],
                sender=email_data['from_email'],
                subject=email_data['subject'],
                message=email_data['message'],
                html_message=email_data['html_message'],
                headers=email_data['headers'],
                priority=email_data['priority']
            )
            messages.success(request, 'Email sent successfully.')
            return redirect('admin:index')
    else:
        form = EmailCreationForm()

    return render(request, 'admin/send_email.html', {'form': form})

forms.py

from post_office.models import Email

class EmailCreationForm(forms.ModelForm):

    class Meta:
        model = Email
        fields = '__all__'

I'd welcome a PR for this :)

Sounds good, I think I could get around to it before the end of the year.
