How do I add a Sender name to the emails sent by the following script:
def createhtmlmail (html, text, subject):
"""Create a mime-message that will render HTML in popular
MUAs, text in better ones"""
import MimeWriter
import mimetools
import cStringIO
out = cStringIO.StringIO() # output buffer for our message
htmlin = cStringIO.StringIO(html)
txtin = cStringIO.StringIO(text)
writer = MimeWriter.MimeWriter(out)
# set up some basic headers... we put subject here
# because smtplib.sendmail expects it to be in the
# message body
#
writer.addheader("Subject", subject)
writer.addheader("MIME-Version", "1.0")
#
# start the multipart section of the message
# multipart/alternative seems to work better
# on some MUAs than multipart/mixed
#
writer.startmultipartbody("alternative")
writer.flushheaders()
#
# the plain text section
#
subpart = writer.nextpart()
subpart.addheader("Content-Transfer-Encoding", "quoted-printable")
pout = subpart.startbody("text/plain", [("charset", 'us-ascii')])
mimetools.encode(txtin, pout, 'quoted-printable')
txtin.close()
#
# start the html subpart of the message
#
subpart = writer.nextpart()
subpart.addheader("Content-Transfer-Encoding", "quoted-printable")
#
# returns us a file-ish object we can write to
#
pout = subpart.startbody("text/html", [("charset", 'us-ascii')])
mimetools.encode(htmlin, pout, 'quoted-printable')
htmlin.close()
#
# Now that we're done, close our writer and
# return the message body
#
writer.lastpart()
msg = out.getvalue()
out.close()
return msg
