smtplib: subject? to?

[Oleg Broytmann]

Hi!

   I think both code snippets have a bug - they are too indented. I think
you should spell it the following way:

    mailer.sendmail('arcege at shore.net', ['gerrit.holl at pobox.com'], '''\
From: (Arcege) arcege at shore.net
To: gerrit.holl at pobox.com
Subject: Testing smtplib within Python
 
  It seems to work.''')

Start headers from column 1.
