Send a MIME-encoded email in HTML and plain text using Python’s smtplib (Python 2.x). Just call ‘mailer’ with a return address, list of recipients, message subject and body.
import smtplib, string
from email import MIMEMultipart
from email import MIMEText
def mailer(strSender, lstEmailRecipients, strEmailSubject, strEmailBody):
"""Compose a message using arguments, pass it to MTA on server"""
# add yourself for testing
lstEmailRecipients.append('you@yahoo.com')
msg = MIMEMultipart.MIMEMultipart('alternative')
msg['From'] = strSender
#msg['To'] = lstEmailRecipients
msg['Subject'] = strEmailSubject
msgInHTML = """
<html>
<head></head>
<body><font face="Arial">"""
msgInHTML += strEmailBody
msgInHTML += """
</font></body>
</html>"""
msgPart1 = MIMEText.MIMEText(strEmailBody, 'plain', 'UTF-8')
msgPart2 = MIMEText.MIMEText(msgInHTML, 'html', 'UTF-8')
msg.attach(msgPart1)
msg.attach(msgPart2)
smtpserver = smtplib.SMTP("localhost")
smtpserver.sendmail(msg['From'], lstEmailRecipients, msg.as_string())
smtpserver.quit()
