Python网络编程：E-mail服务(四) 编写传统邮件

简介

本文通过标准Python库的email模块提供MIMEText类，进行传统email的编写，从而对email模块有一个初步的认识。

邮件编写

RFC 822定义了邮件的标准格式，在前面的文章对此也进行了相关介绍，这里我们通过MIMEText类，来编写一个传统邮件。

from email.Utils import formatdate, make_msgid
from email.mime.text import MIMEText


if __name__ == '__main__':
    message = '''Hello,\n   this is an autotest email.\n---Jinguang Liu.\n'''
    
    msg = MIMEText(message)
    msg['To'] = 'jinguang.liu@qq.com'
    msg['From'] = 'jliu@163.com'
    msg['Subject'] = 'This is a test email'
    msg['Date'] = formatdate(localtime=1)
    msg['Message-ID'] = make_msgid() 
    
    print msg.as_string()

查看一下程序运行的结果：

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
To: jinguang.liu@qq.com
From: jliu@163.com
Subject: This is a test email
Date: Sat, 25 Apr 2015 17:50:12 +0800
Message-ID: <20150425095012.3420.48931@bob-PC>

Hello,
   this is an autotest email.
---Jinguang Liu.

代码解析

MIMEText类是用来创建文本类型的MIME对象，其类的实现如下：

class MIMEText(MIMENo
