Massimo, Feel free to stick it in the new version of the book. I'll see if I can't test it over the weekend with your Mail() function. I might even try to make it so you can attach multiple images/files by passing a list of files & what you want to refer to them by in the html? So maybe something like:
attachment1 = dict(f='image1.jpg',cid='image1') attachment2 = dict(f='logo.png',cid='image2') attach_files = [attachment1, attachment2] message = _multipart_email(sender, recipient, subject, message_text, message_html, attach_files) ~Brian On Jul 16, 10:31 pm, mdipierro <mdipie...@cs.depaul.edu> wrote: > Thanks Brian.
