OK, let's try this again, this time with !@#$% hard line breaks:

from smtplib import SMTP
def sendmail(smtpserver, fromaddr, toaddr, subject, msg):
  smtpsock = SMTP(smtpserver)
  msg = "From: Your name <%(fromaddr)s\nSubject: %(subject)s\n\n%(msg)
s" % vars()
  rc = smtpsock.sendmail(fromaddr, [toaddr], msg)
  smtpsock.quit()
  return rc

## If your mail server requires POP authentication
## (like Yahoo! Mail does), you can't call the
## above function directly; call this one instead:
from poplib import POP3
def sendmailwithPOPauth( \
    popserver, popuser, poppassword, smtpserver, \
    fromaddr, toaddr, subject, msg):
  popsock = POP3(popserver)
  popsock.user(popuser)
  popsock.pass_(poppassword) # note weird function name
  popsock.quit()
  return sendmail(smtpserver, fromaddr, toaddr, subject, msg)
