Hi guys. I have a script that sends the info by email, but i'd like to
avoid the convertion to HTML by the email client or Gmail, because it
ruins all the formatting i did (with tabs, mostly). Briefing, i wanna
be able to send SMTP mail and the receiver only get it in plain text. 11 4950

Can you give a short example of how you are building the email ?

Please tell us what you do more precisely:
* do you send the "info" as an attachment using the email package?
* do you create alternative text and HTML parts for the body?
I have never managed to send plain text email and receive it as HTML.
Perhaps you mean that some "smart" client does something stupid with
your text, eg. it removes line-breaks you have in your message?
Try this:
import smtplib
def send(server, from_whom, to_whom_list):
smtp = smtplib.SMTP(se rver)
smtp.sendmail(f rom_whom, to_whom_list,
"""From: %s
To: %s
Subject: test email
This is a test.
It has line breaks.
Does it come as three separate lines?""")
I tried it as
send('localhost ', 't***@sil-tec.gr', ['t***@sil-tec.gr'])
and I had no problem. What happens for you (substitute other server and
email addresses, obviously :) ?

Humm. I just create the message this way:
message = 'Serie:\t\t' + str(type) + str(series) + \
'\t\t\tUbicació n:\t\t\t' + place + '\n' + \
'Date&Time:\t' + date
and send it with:
message = header + message
server = smtplib.SMTP('l ocalhost')
server.sendmail ('e****@email.c om', email, message)
server.quit()

And what goes wrong when you see the message? (BTW you don't have a
newline before "Ubicación: "; is it intentional?)
Tabs are infamous confusers of email clients, unfortunately.

As long as your mimetype is text/plain you should have
minimal trouble. There's no way you can control what
the recipient's mail client does, however.
In particular, there are a lot of mail clients out there that
handle tabs poorly. Outlook Express is the poster child
for this: it ignores tabs completely, however it is by no
means the only culprit. It's simply the most widespread one.
In other words, use strings of spaces rather than tabs,
and you'll probably find your messages coming out
looking better.

I see. So... what about sending HTML email? If i send HTML tagged text,
the client will be able to read it as HTML?
For example, if i send an email with: <header></header> <body>
<b>Yo!</></body> will the client read a bold Yo! ?
Because i can replace tabs with tables if this is possible.

That depends on the client.
IMO, HTML belongs on web pages, not in email. YMMV.

Hello. I'm looking for a simple way to do the following:

No problem sending as HTML. However, some of the members want just plain
