Just a heads up: I've just stuck in twisted.protocols.smtp.sendEmail(); it is based very heavily on some code itamar sent me and can handle attachments as well as plain ol' email. I imagine there are some things wrong with it, but this is something I've found lacking in Twisted for a long time, so I had to add it, even broken :) Suggestions on the what the One True Way it should work are welcome (but it does what I want it to now, so don't expect me to improve it without input ;).
