Question

I am successfully able to send email using the smtplib module. But when the emial is sent, it does not include the subject in the email sent.

import smtplib
         


        

Answer 1

I think you have to include it in the message:

import smtplib

message = """From: From Person 
To: To Person 
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-type: text/html
Subject: SMTP HTML e-mail test

This is an e-mail message to be sent in HTML format

This is HTML message.
This is headline.
"""

try:
   smtpObj = smtplib.SMTP('localhost')
   smtpObj.sendmail(sender, receivers, message)         
   print "Successfully sent email"
except SMTPException:
   print "Error: unable to send email"
