## 13 使用例

ここでは `email` パッケージを使って電子メールメッセージを 読む・書く・送信するいくつかの例を紹介します。より複雑な MIME メッセージについても扱います。

最初に、テキスト形式の単純なメッセージを作成・送信する方法です:

    # Import smtplib for the actual sending function
    import smtplib

    # Import the email modules we'll need
    from email.mime.text import MIMEText

    # Open a plain text file for reading.  For this example, assume that
    # the text file contains only ASCII characters.
    fp = open(textfile, 'rb')
    # Create a text/plain message
    msg = MIMEText(fp.read())
    fp.close()

    # me == the sender's email address
    # you == the recipient's email address
    msg['Subject'] = 'The contents of %s' % textfile
    msg['From'] = me
    msg['To'] = you

    # Send the message via our own SMTP server, but don't include the
    # envelope header.
    s = smtplib.SMTP()
    s.connect()
    s.sendmail(me, [you], msg.as_string())
    s.close()

つぎに、あるディレクトリ内にある何枚かの家族写真をひとつの MIME メッセージに 収めて送信する例です:

    # Import smtplib for the actual sending function
    import smtplib

    # Here are the email package modules we'll need
    from email.mime.image import MIMEImage
    from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart

    COMMASPACE = ', '

    # Create the container (outer) email message.
    msg = MIMEMultipart()
    msg['Subject'] = 'Our family reunion'
    # me == the sender's email address
    # family = the list of all recipients' email addresses
    msg['From'] = me
    msg['To'] = COMMASPACE.join(family)
    msg.preamble = 'Our family reunion'

    # Assume we know that the image files are all in PNG format
    for file in pngfiles:
        # Open the files in binary mode.  Let the MIMEImage class automatically
        # guess the specific image type.
        fp = open(file, 'rb')
        img = MIMEImage(fp.read())
        fp.close()
        msg.attach(img)

    # Send the email via our own SMTP server.
    s = smtplib.SMTP()
    s.connect()
    s.sendmail(me, family, msg.as_string())
    s.close()

つぎはあるディレクトリに含まれている内容全体を ひとつの電子メールメッセージとして送信するやり方です 23:

        try:

        except IndexError:

        counter = 1
        for part in msg.walk():

                filename = 'part-%03d%s' % (counter, ext)
            counter += 1
            fp = open(os.path.join(opts.directory, filename), 'wb')
            fp.write(part.get_payload(decode=True))
            fp.close()
