smtplib

[Gregory Tucker]

It looks like the subject is included in the message body. See the attched
code from Starship.

The following code will call it (I think).

import SMTP

mailhost="tkd.att.ne.jp"
mailfrom="tuckerg at acm.org"
mailto="tuckerg at acm.org"
subj="Test Message"
msg="""
Blah
Blah
Blah
"""

s=SMTP.SMTP(mailhost)
s.send_message(mailfrom, mailto, subj, msg)
s.close()

Regards,
Greg

P.S. I am getting very little mail off the Python list. Is it something
wrong with me?

## This is SMTP sender class. Many thanks to all, which 
## help to finish these useful stuff. If you finds 
## some error, of like to add more features, please feel free 
## to contact with me. Vladimir (gandalf at starship.skyport.net)
##
#########################################################################
## Usage:
## 1) Create SMTP statement and connect to the mailserver:
##    object = SMTP('smtp.server.name.or.address')
## 2) Send message:
##    object.send_message('from_addr', 'to_addr', 'Subject', 'message body')
## 3) You can invoke send_message morethan one times.
## 4) Close connection:
##    object.close()

## 20-Mar-98 SMTP class bugfix
## All strings into header now finished by '\r'
##               Many thanks to Brian Hooper for this bugfix
## 8-Mar-98 SMTP class modifyed.
## 1) socket creation in __init__ checked by try: except: block.
## 2) In SMTP.check method I'm using SMTP.readline (no more conn.recv :) )
## 3) SMTP.readline uses select call for timeout checking.
##               Many thanks to Skip Montanaro for this update.
