[Tutor] email content-type: text/plain

[shawn bright]

use  MIMEText(message, 'someTypeThatIsn'tPlain')  ? but type/plain is what i
am after.
i am a bit confused here. It defaults to plain, but there is not anything in
the message headers that say what type it is. Should i use MIMEText(message,
'text/plain') ?

thanks
sk
