Sending HTML email using Python

Question

How can I send the HTML content in an email using Python? I can send simple text.

Answer 1

Actually, yagmail took a bit different approach.

It will by default send HTML, with automatic fallback for incapable email-readers. It is not the 17th century anymore.

Of course, it can be overridden, but here goes:

import yagmail
yag = yagmail.SMTP("me@example.com", "mypassword")

html_msg = """
Hi!

              How are you?

              Here is the link you wanted.
"""

yag.send("to@example.com", "the subject", html_msg)
