I tried hard to find solution to this issues but all in vein, finally i have to ask you guys. I have HTML email (using Python's smtplib). Here is the code
Message = """From: [email protected]>
To: [email protected]>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-type: text/html
Subject: test
Hello,
Following is the message
""" + '\n'.join(mail_body) + """
Thank you.
"""
In above code, mail_body is a list which contains lines of output from a process. Now what i want is, to display these lines (line by line) in HTML email. What is happening now its just appending line after line. i.e.
I am storing the output(of process) like this :
for line in cmd.stdout.readline()
mail_body.append()
Current Output in HTML email is:
Hello,
abc
Thank you.
What i want :
Hello,
a
b
c
Thank you.
I just want to attach my process output in HTML email line by line. Can my output be achieved in any way?
Thanks and Regards

You could generate the email content to send using email package (from stdlib) e.g.:
#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from cgi import escape
from email.header import Header
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
from smtplib import SMTP_SSL
login, password = '[email protected]', 'my password'
# create message
msg = MIMEMultipart('alternative')
msg['Subject'] = Header('subject…', 'utf-8')
msg['From'] = login
msg['To'] = ', '.join([login,])
# Create the body of the message (a plain-text and an HTML version).
text = "Hello,\nFollowing is the message\n%(somelist)s\n\nThank you." % dict(
somelist='\n'.join(["- " + item for item in mail_body]))
html = """<!DOCTYPE html><title></title><p>Hello,<p>Following is the message
<ul>%(somelist)s</ul><p>Thank you. """ % dict(
somelist='\n'.join(["<li> " + escape(item) for item in mail_body]))
# According to RFC 2046, the last part of a multipart message, in this case
# the HTML message, is best and preferred.
msg.attach(MIMEText(text, 'plain', 'utf-8'))
msg.attach(MIMEText(html, 'html', 'utf-8'))
# send it
s = SMTP_SSL('smtp.mail.example.com', timeout=10) # no cert check on Python 2
s.set_debuglevel(0)
try:
s.login(login, password)
s.sendmail(msg['From'], msg['To'], msg.as_string())
finally:
s.quit()
in HTML, a new line is not \n it is <br> for "line break" but since you are also not using HTML tags in this email, you also need to know that in MIME messages, a newline is \r\n and not just \n
So you should write:
'\r\n'.join(mail_body)
For newlines that deal with the MIME message, but if you are going to use the HTML for formatting, then you need to know that <br> is the line break, and it would be:
'<br>'.join(mail_body)
To be comprehensive, you could try:
'\r\n<br>'.join(mail_body)
But I do now know what that would like like...
