Using SMTPlib.

[Wen Jiang]

I have a function which might be just what you need.

def SendMail(to="",subject="Your Subject",msg="",images=[]):
	import smtplib, socket, StringIO, MimeWriter, base64
	fromaddr=os.environ["USER"]+"@"+socket.gethostname()
	if not to: 
		to=fromaddr
		tos=[[to,'']]
	else:
		import re
	
mailaddrp=re.compile(r"([A-Za-z0-9._-]+@[A-Za-z0-9_-]+(\.[A-Za-z0-9_-]+)*)")
		tos=mailaddrp.findall(to)
	server = smtplib.SMTP('localhost')
	server.set_debuglevel(0)
	for cto in tos:
		outputfp = StringIO.StringIO()
		
		# Create a MimeWriter object
		
		w = MimeWriter.MimeWriter(outputfp)
		w.addheader("Subject", subject)
		w.addheader("To", cto[0])
		w.addheader("MIME-Version", "1.0")
		w.flushheaders()
		
		# Now we create a plain text segment and write the instructions file
into it
		
		w.startmultipartbody("mixed")
		instructions = w.nextpart()
		instFile = instructions.startbody("text/plain")
		instructions.flushheaders()
		instFile.write(msg)
		
		# Now we create a base64 encoded segment and write the diary file into
it
		
		# as an attachment
		if images:
			for img in images:
				subwriter = w.nextpart()
				subwriter.addheader("Content-Transfer-Encoding", "base64")
				subwriter.addheader("Content-Disposition", 'inline; filename="%s"' %
img)
				f = subwriter.startbody('application/octet-stream; name="%s"' % img)
				subwriter.flushheaders()
				f.write(base64.encodestring(open(img, 'rb').read()))
		w.lastpart()
		server.sendmail(fromaddr, cto[0], outputfp.getvalue())
	server.close()
