Posting the entire code snippet is tough because it's thousands of lines of code. Basically, I'm inside of a For loop already. The code worked when I got it, but I'm trying to tap into it and extend it outward to notify me via email in certain circumstances. I got it to send the email, but it seems there's a) no case statement (WTF?) and b) I'm limited to how many elif statements I can use. Again, I don't particularly care how elegant this is because it's ultimately getting disposed of sooner rather than later..I just want it to work.

Let me review my code and see if I can pare it down to the essentials so I can give a better idea of what I'm doing.
