email: 示例

以下是一些如何使用 email 包来读取、写入和发送简单电子邮件以及更复杂的MIME邮件的示例。

首先，让我们看看如何创建和发送简单的文本消息（文本内容和地址都可能包含unicode字符）：

# 导入 smtplib 以使用实际的发送函数
import smtplib

# 导入我们需要的 email 模块
from email.message import EmailMessage

# 打开 textfile 中相应名称的纯文本文件供读取。
with open(textfile) as fp:
    # 创建纯文本消息
    msg = EmailMessage()
    msg.set_content(fp.read())

# me == 发送方 email 地址
# you == 接收方 email 地址
msg['Subject'] = f'The contents of {textfile}'
msg['From'] = me
msg['To'] = you

# 通过我们使用的 SMTP 服务器发送消息。
s = smtplib.SMTP('localhost')
s.send_message(msg)
s.quit()

解析 RFC 822 标题可以通过使用 parser 模块中的类来轻松完成：

# 导入我们需要的 email 模块
#from email.parser import BytesParser
from email.parser import Parser
from email.policy import default

# 如果 email 标头保存在文件中，则取消注释这两行：
# with open(messagefile, 'rb') as fp:
#     headers = BytesParser(policy=default).parse(fp)

#  或者如果要从字符串中解析标头（这是不太常见的操作），使用：
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')

#  现在标头条目将可作为字典访问：
print('To: {}'.format(headers['to']))
print('From: {}'.format(headers['from']))
print('Subject: {}'.format(headers['subject']))

# 你也可以访问地址的各个部分：
print('Recipient username: {}'.format(headers['to'].addresses[0].username))
print('Sender name: {}'.format(headers['from'].addresses[0].display_name))

以下是如何发送包含可能在目录中的一系列家庭照片的MIME消息示例：

# 导入 smtplib 以使用实际的发送函数。
import smtplib

# 以下是我们要用到的 email 包模块。
from email.message import EmailMessage

# 创建容器 email 消息。
msg = EmailMessage()
msg['Subject'] = 'Our family reunion'
# me == 发送方 email 地址
# family = 所有接收方的 email 地址列表
msg['From'] = me
msg['To'] = ', '.join(family)
msg.preamble = 'You will not see this in a MIME-aware mail reader.\n'

# 以二进制模式打开文件。 你也可以忽略子类型
# 如果你想要 MIMEImage 自动猜测的话。
for file in pngfiles:
    with open(file, 'rb') as fp:
        img_data = fp.read()
    msg.add_attachment(img_data, maintype='image',
                                 subtype='png')

# 通过我们自己的 SMTP 服务器发送 email。
with smtplib.SMTP('localhost') as s:
    s.send_message(msg)

以下是如何将目录的全部内容作为电子邮件消息发送的示例： [1]

#!/usr/bin/env python3

以下是如何使用备用纯文本版本创建 HTML 消息的示例。 为了让事情变得更有趣，我们在 html 部分中包含了一个相关的图像，我们保存了一份我们要发送的内容到硬盘中，然后发送它。

#!/usr/bin/env python3

import smtplib

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

# Create the base text message.
msg = EmailMessage()
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("""\

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

[1] http://www.yummly.com/recipe/Roasted-Asparagus-Epicurious-203718

--Pepé
""")

# Add the html version.  This converts the message into a multipart/alternative
# container, with the original text message as the first part and the new html
# message as the second part.
asparagus_cid = make_msgid()
msg.add_alternative("""\
<html>
  <head></head>
  <body>
    <p>Salut!</p>
    <p>Cette
        <a href="http://www.yummly.com/recipe/Roasted-Asparagus-Epicurious-203718">
            recette
        </a> sera sûrement un très bon repas.
    </p>
    <img src="cid:{asparagus_cid}" />
  </body>
</html>
""".format(asparagus_cid=asparagus_cid[1:-1]), subtype='html')
# note that we needed to peel the <> off the msgid for use in the html.

# Now add the related image to the html part.
with open("roasted-asparagus.jpg", 'rb') as img:
    msg.get_payload()[1].add_related(img.read(), 'image', 'jpeg',
                                     cid=asparagus_cid)

# Make a local copy of what we are going to send.
with open('outgoing.msg', 'wb') as f:
    f.write(bytes(msg))

# Send the message via local SMTP server.
with smtplib.SMTP('localhost') as s:
    s.send_message(msg)

如果我们发送最后一个示例中的消息，这是我们可以处理它的一种方法：

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)
        sys.exit()
    elif richest['content-type'].subtype == 'html':
        body = richest
    else:
        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:
            extension = os.path.splitext(part.get_filename())[1]
        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:
    print("Don't know how to display {}".format(richest.get_content_type()))
    sys.exit()
with tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile(mode='w', delete=False) as f:
    f.write(magic_html_parser(body.get_content(), partfiles))
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.

直到输出提示，上面的输出是：

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.
