I know the machanism with urllib, but there is no regular way to add
attachments.
How would you do that with urllib?
I found this on web:
import urllib, webbrowser, win32api
def mailto_url(to=None,subject=None,body=None,cc=None, att=None):
"""
encodes the content as a mailto link as described on
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2368.html """
url = "mailto: " + urllib.quote(to.strip(),"@,")
sep = "?"
if cc:
url+= sep + "cc=" + urllib.quote(cc,"@,")
sep = "&"
if subject:
url+= sep + "subject=" + urllib.quote(subject,"")
sep = "&"
if body:
# Also note that line breaks in the body of a message MUST be
# encoded with "%0D%0A". (RFC 2368)
body="\r\n".join(body.splitlines())
url+= sep + "body=" + urllib.quote(body,"")
sep = "&"
return url
txtTo = "mail (at) domain.de"
txtSubject = "Test Subject"
body = "Test body"
txtCC = "cc_test (at) com.net"
att = r'C:/Temp/test.txt'
url = mailto_url(txtTo,txtSubject,body,txtCC)
webbrowser.open(url,new=1)
But there are Systems, which don't use MS Outlook.
Is there a way to access the standard mail application.
There is no "standard mail application". Lots of Windows systems (and
most servers) don't run a mail application at all. You can try using
MAPI; most of the popular mail apps support that The COM dispatch is
"Mapi.Session". There are even some Python samples on using MAPI.
Thanks for this hint. I will try this.
However, to be completely general, you need to use smtplib to send to an
external mail server.
This is no option, because there is noch smtp-server withouf
authentication and we need to send mails from different users.

Steffen
