Hi, python newbie, struggling to learn here. I'm trying to write a simple program which posts messages to my google group (via email). I'm using smtplib, email and email.message to build and send a message, but all the header attributes are appearing in the message body, so my messages are arriving with loads of junk in the body, no subject line and only the skinniest of headers. I know I'm doing something wrong, but I don't know what...
Here's a simplification of what I'm doing....essentially, I've taken from what I've learned at http://codeidol.com/python/python3/Client-Side-Scripting/pymail-A-Console-Based-Email-Client/ -------------Snip Here-------------Snip Here-------------Snip Here------------- import smtplib, email from email.message import Message m = Message( ) m['From'] = 'Slippy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>' m['To'] = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' m['Subject'] = 'A Test Message' m.set_payload('This is a test email. Please ignore') s = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.myemail.com') failed = s.sendmail('[EMAIL PROTECTED]','[EMAIL PROTECTED]',str(m)) if failed: print 'Message sending failed.' else: print 'Message sent.' print 'Bye.' -------------Snip Here-------------Snip Here-------------Snip Here------------- Now, I get all the right responses, and the message sends ok. I go and check my inbox, and the message is there, but the From, To and Subject lines I created (as well as a preceding blank line and a "From nobody" line) are in the message body, followed by the body text. How do I assign values to the header? I'd appreciate any help anyone can give me with this. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
