emili 1.1

Mail sending Python/CLI interface using markdown or ANSI codes based content

Simple interface for sending mails. Turns input formats such as Markdown or console outputs using ANSI colors into nice dual plaintext/html messages.

Module usage

import emili

content = """
# this is a title

Read **this** is very _important_!!

"""

emili.sendmail(
    from  = "[e-mail]",
    to = [ "[e-mail]", "[e-mail]" ],
    bcc = [ "[e-mail]" ],
    subject = []
    md = content,
    attachments = [ 'onefile.pdf' ],
    )

Right now a config.py file is required containing the configuration options for the SMTP connection in a dictionary named smtp:

smtp={
    host='smtp.acme.cat',
    port='',
    user='[e-mail]',
    password='mecmec',
}
