Thanks, that was very helpful. My code is just a quick utility tool for internal use so I am able to be fairly hackish without shame. :-) Since I am synthesizing the mails from scratch and the encoding requirements fairly simple, I could probably dispense with the email/smtplib packages altogether and just pipe my text directly to sendmail. But I thought using Python's email package would be easier. Silly me. Thanks again. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
