[Tutor] smtplib mail header problem

dave,

i'm a little surprised by this.  if your code has been working for
almost a year and suddently breaks, that can only be explained by 1 or
2 things:

1. your code was modified
2. the server was modified

(or both).  things just don't all of a sudden break.  do you know what
changed in the system?

from just observing your From line, it looks like you need a space
between your name and the '<' that begins the e-mail address.  i don't
think that without the space, it's a valid RFC2822 e-mail address.

i don't know if this is the entire problem, but it can't hurt to
remedy it and see if it helps.

good luck!
