I asked a question earlier about trying to send an outlook message as
an attachment, but didn't get a response. I'm so confused ... so I'm
going to see if I can some up with a simpler question.
I've have a file called 'foo.mht' that begins like this:
Content-Type: message/rfc822
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
x-mimeole: Produced By Microsoft Exchange V6.5
Content-class: urn:content-classes:message
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
boundary="----_=_NextPart_003_01CA61C6.4B387F54"
... lines removed ...
This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
The code I use to create the file is functionally equivalent to this:
mailString = sys.stdin.read() #
read mail message from stdin
message = email.message_fom_string(string) # turn it into a
message
# find a node in the message that is rfc822, and save it to a file
as a string
for part in message.walk():
if part.get_content_type() == "message/rfc822":
f = open("foo.mht", "w")
print >>f, part.as_string()
f.close()
I am hazy on this email stuff, but I think that the foo.mht file
represents an on-file version of an email that I should be able to now
send out as an attachment.
I think I should be able to do something like this:
msg = EmailMultiAlternatives(subject, body, from, to)
msg.attach_file("foo.mht")
msg.send()
But when send() is called, I get the error:
*** TypeError: Expected list, got <type 'str'>
If I attach a gif or png my code works ok, so I've got the basics
down, but I know I'm doing something wrong with this rfc822 type of
attachment.
I guess I need to somehow turn foo.mht back into a message prior to
attaching it? Could anyone give me pointer? I've been reading
through the doc, but this mail encoding stuff is still black magic to
me and I can't find much in the way of example code.
