18.1.11. "email": 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('localhost')
   s.sendmail(me, [you], msg.as_string())
   s.quit()

Parser() クラスの parse(filename) か parsestr(message_as_string) メソ
ッドを使って簡単に RFC822 ヘッダの解析ができます:

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

   #  If the e-mail headers are in a file, uncomment this line:
   #headers = Parser().parse(open(messagefile, 'r'))

   #  Or for parsing headers in a string, use:
   headers = Parser().parsestr('From: <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: %s' % headers['to']
   print 'From: %s' % headers['from']
   print 'Subject: %s' % headers['subject']

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('localhost')
   s.sendmail(me, family, msg.as_string())
   s.quit()
