E-mail messages An e-mail message consists of headers (e.g. “From”, “To”, “Subject” etc.) and body (see RFC 822, section 3.1). The body of the message is, by default, treated as plain ASCII text. MIME (RFC 2045, RFC 2046, RFC 2047, RFC 2048, RFC 2049) defines extensions which allow specifying different types of email content. One … Read more

there is a nice trick with python: http://muffinresearch.co.uk/archives/2010/10/15/fake-smtp-server-with-python/ Just one liner can do the job (listens on port 2500): python -m smtpd -n -c DebuggingServer localhost:2500
a connection is required before login and sendemail. server = smtplib.SMTP(‘smtp.example.com’, 25) server.connect(“smtp.example.com”,465) server.ehlo() server.starttls() server.ehlo() server.login(fromaddr, “password”) text = msg.as_string() server.sendmail(fromaddr, toaddr, text) server.quit()
You should just add ‘utf-8’ argument to your MIMEText calls (it assumes ‘us-ascii’ by default). For example: # -*- encoding: utf-8 -*- from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart from email.mime.text import MIMEText msg = MIMEMultipart(“alternative”) msg[“Subject”] = u’テストメール’ part1 = MIMEText(u’\u3053\u3093\u306b\u3061\u306f\u3001\u4e16\u754c\uff01\n’, “plain”, “utf-8”) msg.attach(part1) print msg.as_string().encode(‘ascii’)
Here is the sample code. System.IO.MemoryStream ms = new System.IO.MemoryStream(); System.IO.StreamWriter writer = new System.IO.StreamWriter(ms); writer.Write(“Hello its my sample file”); writer.Flush(); writer.Dispose(); ms.Position = 0; System.Net.Mime.ContentType ct = new System.Net.Mime.ContentType(System.Net.Mime.MediaTypeNames.Text.Plain); System.Net.Mail.Attachment attach = new System.Net.Mail.Attachment(ms, ct); attach.ContentDisposition.FileName = “myFile.txt”; // I guess you know how to send email with an attachment // after sending email … Read more
