howto send html mails using smtplib

2005-06-09 Thread Philippe C. Martin 
Hi,

I have the following problem:
1) I can use smtplib to send text messages
2) I can generate html
3) I want to email the html and want it to be seen by the email client as
html.

However, when I receive the message, the email client displays it as text
(code hereunder) - I assume it has to do with the MIMEText call but since I
cannot see any MIMEhtml .

Any clue ?

Thanks

Philippe


#   
def Mail(self,p_data):

you = wx.GetTextFromUser('EMAIL ADDRESS','ID')
if len(you) == 0:
return

self.__m_config = Config()

self.__m_config.Load()

me = self.__m_config.dict['ACCOUNT']
#me = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
host = self.__m_config.dict['SMTP']
s = smtplib.SMTP()
s.connect(host)


s.login(me,self.__m_config.GPW())

the_text = p_data
msg = MIMEText(the_text)
msg['To'] = you
msg['Subject'] = self.__m_config.dict['TITLE']
msg['From'] = self.__m_config.dict['FROM']   
s.sendmail(me, [you], msg.as_string())
self.__m_list = []

I suspect you need one of the following lines.

msg.replace_header('Content-Type', 'text/html')

msg.add_header('Content-Type', 'text/html')


HTH :)

Tim,

You are most correct, replace_header did the trick.

Thanks a bunch.
