smtp mail with attachment

[Sandipan Gangopadhyay]

AFAIK, and I could be ignorant, but you just have to construct the mail with
MimeWriter:
With content-type as multi-part (because the email will have more than one
part (itself) - the attachment(s))
And then, in one of the parts, put in the attachment after declaring its
type.
Please note that if you are going to need to send binary attachments, base64
will come in use to encode it first. As in:
Content-Type: whatever/whatever
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
You can use smtplib to send the mime you have built then.

Also, you can have other parts of the email refer to this attachment by
giving it an identifier (URL sort of)

Works fine on both Unix and Windows.

HTH. Regards,

Sandipan
