Comment (by Tobias Bengfort):
The documentation already contains this line:
Not all features of the EmailMessage class are available through the
send_mail() and related wrapper functions. If you wish to use advanced
features, such as BCC’ed recipients, file attachments, or multi-part
email, you’ll need to create EmailMessage instances directly.
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.0/topics/email/#the-emailmessage-
class
For consistency I think we should also add the `Auto-Submitted` header in
the wrapper functions.
The special thing here would be that dropping down to `EmailMessage`
allows you to ''remove'' a header rather than add one. I am not sure how
best to explain that in the docs. I see that most parameters are only
documented once for `send_mail()` and not repeated for the other wrapper
functions. So maybe it would be sufficient to add a note only to
`send_mail()`. The note could be something like this:
`send_mail()` uses the `Auto-Submitted` mail header to indicate that
the mail was created by software rather than a human.
