Python To Send Emails Via Outlook Express

[ian at kirbyfooty.com]

Hi,
I'm a newbie (oh no I can here you say.... another one...)

How can I get Python to send emails using the default windows email
client (eg outlook express)?

I thought I could just do the following

import win32com.client

s = win32com.client.Dispatch('CDO.Message')
s.From = "ian at kirbyfooty.com"
s.To = "someone at yahoo.com"
s.Subject = "The subject"
s.Send

... but nothing happens.

What am I doing wrong? Does anyone have some sample code to share with
me please?

Thank you!
