However, in Python 2.4.1, you cannot simply give send_mail a MIMEMultipart message. It errors, trying to encode. The encoding step is really not needed if you've already constructed a MIMEText or MIMEMultipart message. So, I went ahead and added that functionality by making a ""SafeMIMEMultipart"" class. If the message parameter is either SafeMIMEMultipart or SafeMIMEtext, it is accepted without re-encoding. Another way to do this would've been to put a ""skip_reencode"" parameter on the method, but I prefer more transparent solutions. Eample usage: -------------- msg = mail.SafeMIMEMultipart('alternative', charset=""utf-8"") msg.attach(mail.SafeMIMEText(""example text part"", ""text"")) msg.attach(mail.SafeMIMEText(""

example html part"", ""html"")) mail.send_mail(""example multipart mail"", msg, ""me@example.com"", [""you@example.com"",]) " defect closed Core (Mail) normal fixed rushman@… ross@… mssnlayam@… Accepted 1 0 1 0 0 0
