direct_to_template equivalent for email?

Question

I'm writing a little shortcut function to basically do the same thing as direct_to_template for sending email:

from django.template import Context, loader, Template

def direct_to_email(to, subject, from_email, template_name, parameters):
    parameters = {} if parameters is None else parameters

    template = loader.get_template(template_name)
    context = Context(parameters)

    body = template.render(context)
    # ...etc.

How can I get my TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS to process this, too?

render_to_string() does that trick.

Fair enough, though I was able to make it work by passing a `RequestContext` as opposed to a regular context. – Naftuli Kay Nov 08 '11 at 02:23
