About

Envelopes is a wrapper for Python's email and smtplib modules. It aims to make working with outgoing e-mail in Python simple and fun.

Short example

.. sourcecode:: python

from envelopes import Envelope, GMailSMTP

envelope = Envelope(
    from_addr=(u'[email protected]', u'From Example'),
    to_addr=(u'[email protected]', u'To Example'),
    subject=u'Envelopes demo',
    text_body=u"I'm a helicopter!"
)
envelope.add_attachment('/Users/bilbo/Pictures/helicopter.jpg')

# Send the envelope using an ad-hoc connection...
envelope.send('smtp.googlemail.com', login='[email protected]',
              password='password', tls=True)

# Or send the envelope using a shared GMail connection...
gmail = GMailSMTP('[email protected]', 'password')
gmail.send(envelope)

Features

Envelopes allows you to easily:

• Provide e-mail addresses with or without name part.

• Provide any number of CC and BCC addresses.
• Set standard (e.g. Reply-To) and custom (e.g. X-Mailer) headers.
• Attach files of any kind without hassle.
• Use any charset natively supported by Python's unicode type in addresses, bodies, headers and attachment file names.
