"email": Exemples
*****************

Cette page contient quelques exemples de l'utilisation du package
"email" pour lire, écrire, et envoyer de simples messages mail, ainsi
que des messages MIME plus complexes.

Premièrement, regardons comment créer et envoyer un message avec
simplement du texte (le contenu textuel et les adresses peuvent tous
deux contenir des caractères Unicodes) :

   # Import smtplib for the actual sending function
   import smtplib

   # Import the email modules we'll need
   from email.message import EmailMessage

   # Open the plain text file whose name is in textfile for reading.
   with open(textfile) as fp:
       # Create a text/plain message
       msg = EmailMessage()
       msg.set_content(fp.read())

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

   # Send the message via our own SMTP server.
   s = smtplib.SMTP('localhost')
   s.send_message(msg)
   s.quit()

Analyser des entêtes **RFC 822** peut être aisément réalisé en
utilisant les classes du module "parser" :

   # Import the email modules we'll need
   #from email.parser import BytesParser
   from email.parser import Parser
   from email.policy import default

   # If the e-mail headers are in a file, uncomment these two lines:
   # with open(messagefile, 'rb') as fp:
   #     headers = BytesParser(policy=default).parse(fp)

   #  Or for parsing headers in a string (this is an uncommon operation), use:
   headers = Parser(policy=default).parsestr(
           'From: Foo Bar <user@example.com>\n'
           'To: <someone_else@example.com>\n'
           'Subject: Test message\n'
           '\n'
           'Body would go here\n')

   #  Now the header items can be accessed as a dictionary:
   print('To: {}'.format(headers['to']))
   print('From: {}'.format(headers['from']))
   print('Subject: {}'.format(headers['subject']))

   # You can also access the parts of the addresses:
   print('Recipient username: {}'.format(headers['to'].addresses[0].username))
   print('Sender name: {}'.format(headers['from'].addresses[0].display_name))

Voici un exemple de l'envoi d'un message MIME contenant une série de
photos de famille qui sont stockés ensemble dans un dossier :

   # Import smtplib for the actual sending function.
   import smtplib

   # Here are the email package modules we'll need.
   from email.message import EmailMessage

   # Create the container email message.
   msg = EmailMessage()
   msg['Subject'] = 'Our family reunion'
   # me == the sender's email address
   # family = the list of all recipients' email addresses
   msg['From'] = me
   msg['To'] = ', '.join(family)
   msg.preamble = 'You will not see this in a MIME-aware mail reader.\n'

   # Open the files in binary mode.  You can also omit the subtype
   # if you want MIMEImage to guess it.
   for file in pngfiles:
       with open(file, 'rb') as fp:
           img_data = fp.read()
       msg.add_attachment(img_data, maintype='image',
                                    subtype='png')

   # Send the email via our own SMTP server.
   with smtplib.SMTP('localhost') as s:
       s.send_message(msg)

Voici un exemple d'envoi du contenu d'un dossier entier en tant que
message mail : [1]

Voici un exemple de création d'un message HTML avec une version en
texte comme alternative. Pour rendre les choses un peu plus
intéressantes, nous incluons aussi une image dans la partie HTML, nous
sauvons une copie du message sur le disque, et nous l'envoyons.

   #!/usr/bin/env python3

   import smtplib

   from email.message import EmailMessage
   from email.headerregistry import Address

   msg['Subject'] = "Pourquoi pas des asperges pour ce midi ?"
   msg['From'] = Address("Pepé Le Pew", "pepe", "example.com")
   msg['To'] = (Address("Penelope Pussycat", "penelope", "example.com"),
                Address("Fabrette Pussycat", "fabrette", "example.com"))
   msg.set_content("""\

Si on nous avait envoyé le message de l'exemple précédent, voici la
manière avec laquelle nous pourrions le traiter :

   import os
   import sys
   import tempfile
   import mimetypes
   import webbrowser

   # Import the email modules we'll need
   from email import policy
   from email.parser import BytesParser


   def magic_html_parser(html_text, partfiles):
       """Return safety-sanitized html linked to partfiles.

       Rewrite the href="cid:...." attributes to point to the filenames in partfiles.
       Though not trivial, this should be possible using html.parser.
       """
       raise NotImplementedError("Add the magic needed")


   # In a real program you'd get the filename from the arguments.
   with open('outgoing.msg', 'rb') as fp:
       msg = BytesParser(policy=policy.default).parse(fp)

   # Now the header items can be accessed as a dictionary, and any non-ASCII will
   # be converted to unicode:
   print('To:', msg['to'])
   print('From:', msg['from'])
   print('Subject:', msg['subject'])

   # If we want to print a preview of the message content, we can extract whatever
   # the least formatted payload is and print the first three lines.  Of course,
   # if the message has no plain text part printing the first three lines of html
   # is probably useless, but this is just a conceptual example.
   simplest = msg.get_body(preferencelist=('plain', 'html'))
   print()
   print(''.join(simplest.get_content().splitlines(keepends=True)[:3]))

   ans = input("View full message?")
   if ans.lower()[0] == 'n':
       sys.exit()

   # We can extract the richest alternative in order to display it:
   richest = msg.get_body()
   partfiles = {}
   if richest['content-type'].maintype == 'text':
       if richest['content-type'].subtype == 'plain':
           for line in richest.get_content().splitlines():
               print(line)

           print("Don't know how to display {}".format(richest.get_content_type()))
           sys.exit()
   elif richest['content-type'].content_type == 'multipart/related':
       body = richest.get_body(preferencelist=('html'))
       for part in richest.iter_attachments():
           fn = part.get_filename()
           if fn:

           else:
               extension = mimetypes.guess_extension(part.get_content_type())
           with tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile(suffix=extension, delete=False) as f:
               f.write(part.get_content())
               # again strip the <> to go from email form of cid to html form.
               partfiles[part['content-id'][1:-1]] = f.name
   else:

   webbrowser.open(f.name)
   os.remove(f.name)
   for fn in partfiles.values():
       os.remove(fn)

   # Of course, there are lots of email messages that could break this simple
   # minded program, but it will handle the most common ones.

La sortie textuelle du code ci dessus est :

   To: Penelope Pussycat <penelope@example.com>, Fabrette Pussycat <fabrette@example.com>
   From: Pepé Le Pew <pepe@example.com>
   Subject: Pourquoi pas des asperges pour ce midi ?

   Salut!

   Cette recette [1] sera sûrement un très bon repas.
