[Tutor] email content-type: text/plain

[Chris Hengge]

Not sure if I'm really helping, but I want to try for all the help I've
gotten...
I took this from: http://docs.python.org/lib/module-email.message.html
##############################################################################
*class MIMEText*( _text[, _subtype[, _charset]]) Module: email.mime.text

A subclass of MIMENonMultipart, the MIMEText class is used to create MIME
objects of major type text. _text is the string for the payload. _subtype is
the minor type and defaults to plain. _charset is the character set of the
text and is passed as a parameter to the MIMENonMultipart constructor; it
defaults to us-ascii. No guessing or encoding is performed on the text data.

#############################################################################

Going off this, I'd say you need to change:

msg = MIMEText(message)

to:

msg = MIMEText(message, 'someTypeThatIsn'tPlain')
