Mailing for human beings.

About
-----

Envelopes is a wrapper for Python's *email* and *smtplib* modules. It aims to
make working with outgoing e-mail in Python simple and fun.

Short example
-------------

.. sourcecode:: python

from envelopes import Envelope, GMailSMTP

envelope = Envelope(
from_addr=(u'[email protected]', u'From Example'),
to_addr=(u'[email protected]', u'To Example'),
subject=u'Envelopes demo',
text_body=u"I'm a helicopter!"
)
envelope.add_attachment('/Users/bilbo/Pictures/helicopter.jpg')

# Send the envelope using an ad-hoc connection...
envelope.send('smtp.googlemail.com', login='[email protected]',
password='password', tls=True)

# Or send the envelope using a shared GMail connection...
gmail = GMailSMTP('[email protected]', 'password')
gmail.send(envelope)

Features
--------

Envelopes allows you to easily:

* Provide e-mail addresses with or without name part.
* Set text, HTML or both bodies according to your needs.
* Provide any number of CC and BCC addresses.
* Set standard (e.g. ``Reply-To``) and custom (e.g. ``X-Mailer``) headers.
* Attach files of any kind without hassle.
* Use any charset natively supported by Python's *unicode* type in addresses,
bodies, headers and attachment file names.
