I'm trying to send and email with html and txt. But I need the contents of the .txt file into the email html body. And so far I can only get the txt file to work or the html, but not both. Any ideas?
import smtplib
from email.MIMEMultipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.MIMEText import MIMEText
sender = "[email protected]"
receiver = "[email protected]"
msg = MIMEMultipart('alternative')
msg['Subject'] = "update"
msg['From'] = sender
msg['To'] = receiver
f1 = (open("email_data.txt"))
text = MIMEText(f1.read(),'plain')
html = """\
<html>
<head></head>
Header
<body>
<p>Something<br>
Update<br>
Need the contents of the text file to open here
</p>
</body>
</html>
"""
#part1 = MIMEText(text, 'plain')
part2 = MIMEText(html, 'html')
msg.attach(text)
msg.attach(part2)
server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 587)
server.starttls()
server.ehlo()
server.login("sender", "password")
server.sendmail(sender, receiver, msg.as_string())
print 'Email sent'
server.quit()

Great case for yagmail.
import yagmail
yag = yagmail.SMTP('username','password')
html = '<h1>some header text</h1><p>{}</p>'.format(f1.read())
yag.send('[email protected]', 'subject', html)
Done.
Best to read the yagmail documentation at the link above to see what magic is actually happening.
