How to define a name of attachment in email with python ?

[fowlertrainer]

I want to set the name of the attachment in an python-generated email.

This is needed, because the another site we want to get this name, and
repack the attachments by name (an ID).

Some programming languges (components) are allow to set this.
(See Delphi/Indy/MessagePart)

fp=open(plist, 'rb')
mdata=MIMEAudio(fp.read(),'mpeg')
fp.close()
msg.attach(mdata)
???? msg['filename']='xxx'

Can anyone help in this problem ?

Thanx for it:

Yes, read the manual: the online documentation of the email
module has some examples. The last example shows how to set
the filename (using msg.add_header() to set the Content-
Disposition header).
