here is a program to send emails with python. It was writien quickly so it is 
not perfect. 

import smtplib

winth_of_email=50

message = ''

print 'type message here:'
    
end = 0

while end == 0:
    msg=raw_input()
    
    if msg=='':
        if new_line_1=='1':
            print 'end of message'
            end=1
        else:
            new_line_1='1'
            message = message + '\n'
    else:
        new_line_1=''
        new_line_2=''
        lent=len(msg)/winth_of_email
        x=0
        while x <= lent:
            chop=(x+1) * winth_of_email+x
            msg = msg[:chop] + '\n' + msg[chop:]
            x+=1
        message = message +'\n'+ msg


#adds headers to email
fromaddr=raw_input('what is the from address ')
toaddrs=raw_input('what is the to address ')
subject=raw_input('what is the subject ')
sever=raw_input('what is the smtp sever you are using ')

message = 'From: '+fromaddr +'\n'+ 'To: '+toaddrs +'\n'+ 'Subject '+ subject + 
'\n' +message


print "Message length is " + `len(message)`

#code for sending email
server = smtplib.SMTP(sever)
server.set_debuglevel(1)
server.sendmail(fromaddr, toaddrs, message)
server.quit()

if anyone has any comments I would like to see them.

Every time I think that perhaps we are an advanced race, I turn around and 
read ramblings on Slashdot, and realize I was wrong.
