mailer 0.5

A module that simplifies sending email.

Here are some of the features:

• Single class to send plain text, HTML email, and attachments

• Auto detects attachment types

• Support for internationalized headers

Changes in version 0.3

The API for Mailer.To is changed. Use a string to specify a single recipient, and an iterable to specify more than one.

Changes in version 0.4

You can now specify the port in Mailer

from mailer import Mailer
sender = Mailer('smtp.example.com', port=20)

Changes in version 0.5

• Message.attach takes an optional cid argument.

• You can now send HTML emails with attachments

Thanks to Douglas Mayle for his patch for this.

Examples

Sending an HTML email:

from mailer import Mailer
from mailer import Message

message = Message(From="[e-mail]",
                  To="[e-mail]",
                  charset="utf-8")
message.Subject = "An HTML Email"
message.Html = """This email uses <strong>HTML</strong>!"""
message.Body = """This is alternate text."""

sender = Mailer('smtp.example.com')
sender.send(message)

Sending an attachment:

from mailer import Mailer
from mailer import Message

message = Message(From="[e-mail]",
                  To=["[e-mail]", "[e-mail]"],
                  Subject="Cute Cat")
message.Body = """Kittens with dynamite"""
message.attach("kitty.jpg")

sender = Mailer('smtp.example.com')
sender.send(message)
