When I send email as HTML, why do erroneous whitespaces get introduced to the HTML source and a few < > chars get converted to < and > ???
I have the following script that reads in an HTML file containing a table then
sends it out via email with a content type of text/html.
For some reason a few erroneous whitespaces get introduced to the HTML source
and a few < > chars get converted to < and > ???
# Import libraries
import smtplib
from email.MIMEMultipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.MIMEText import MIMEText
buffer_results = open('results.html', 'r')
HTMLContent = buffer_results.read()
print repr(HTMLContent)
buffer_results.close()
# Send out email notification stating the test execution is completed.
COMMASPACE = ', '
fromaddr = "x...@aaa.com"
content = MIMEMultipart()
body = MIMEMultipart('alternative')
#body.attach(MIMEText(msgtext))
body.attach(MIMEText(HTMLContent, 'html'))
content.attach(body)
content['From'] = fromaddr
recipient_list = ["rbalba...@xxx.com","rbalba...@yyy.com"]
content['To'] = COMMASPACE.join(recipient_list)
content['Subject'] = 'Hello World'
server = smtplib.SMTP('', 25)
server.ehlo()
server.ehlo()
text = content.as_string()
server.sendmail(fromaddr, recipient_list, text)

This is what I see in outlook when I view source. Notice the delta. Any idea
why this is occurring?
