MIMEMultipart cuts attached file

[Achim Domma (Procoders)]

Hi,

I try to send a mulitpart email, which should have a body and two
attached files: a html file and a zip file. My code looks like this:



msg=MIMEMultipart()
msg['From']=sender
msg['To']='; '.join(recipients)
msg['Subject']=subject
msg.epilogue=''

html=file(reportFile,'rb').read()
report=MIMEText(html,'html')
report.add_header('Content-Disposition','attachment',filename=reportFile)
msg.attach(report)

data=file(diffFile,'rb').read()
diff=MIMEBase('application','zip')
diff.set_payload(data)
encode_base64(diff)
diff.add_header('Content-Disposition','attachment',filename=diffFile)
msg.attach(diff)

text=MIMEText("the body text",'plain')
msg.attach(text)

smtp=smtplib.SMTP('pop_server')
smtp.set_debuglevel(0)
smtp.sendmail(sender,recipients,msg.as_string())
smtp.quit()



The body of the mail is ok and the zip archive is also valid, but the
end of the html is cut of most of the time.

Any hints what I'm doing wrong?

regards,
Achim

You may want to take a look at the smtpwriter class
found at:

http://motion.sourceforge.net/related/send_jpg.py

I use it extensively and it makes email creation
(with or without attachments) very easy. At the
very least, you should be able to get some hints.
