Please download the latest version from pypi. It will let you send an attachment with an HTML email.

You can automate Outlook to send emails with attachments, etc. This is quite doable using VBA.

The problem with Python is that when you automate Outlook from a scripting language (outside its own VBA environment), it will pop up a warning to the user.

Two ways to get around this: Write a python COM module that is called from a VBA macro within Outlook; or write a C++ “shim” that wraps calls to Outlook, and code against that from Python.

Good suggestion, thanks. I’ll include that in the next version of the module.

Having CC and BCC would be useful.

@justin and @oyster

def _send(self, server, msg):
“”"
Sends a single message using the server
we created in send()
“”"
me = msg.From
you = [x.split() for x in msg.To.split(",")]
server.sendmail(me, you, msg.as_string())

it should be x.strip instead of x.split
