    out = cStringIO.StringIO() # output buffer for our message 
    htmlin = cStringIO.StringIO(html)
    txtin = cStringIO.StringIO(text)

    writer = MimeWriter.MimeWriter(out)
    #
    # set up some basic headers... we put subject here
    # because smtplib.sendmail expects it to be in the
    # message body
    #
    writer.addheader("From", fromEmail)
    writer.addheader("Subject", subject)
    writer.addheader("MIME-Version", "1.0")
    #
    # start the multipart section of the message
    # multipart/alternative seems to work better
    # on some MUAs than multipart/mixed

if __name__=="__main__":
    import smtplib
    html = 'html version'
    text = 'TEST VERSION'
    subject = "BACKUP REPORT"
    message = createhtmlmail(html, text, subject, 'From Host <sender@host.com>')
    server = smtplib.SMTP("smtp_server_address","smtp_port")

以下是我对AWS使用boto3的回答

    subject = "Hello"
    html = "<b>Hello Consumer</b>"

    client = boto3.client('ses', region_name='us-east-1', aws_access_key_id="your_key",
                      aws_secret_access_key="your_secret")

client.send_email(
    Source='ACME <do-not-reply@acme.com>',
    Destination={'ToAddresses': [email]},
    Message={
        'Subject': {'Data': subject},
        'Body': {
            'Html': {'Data': html}
        }
    }

实际上，yagmail采取了一点不同的方法。

它将在默认情况下发送HTML，并为无法阅读电子邮件的用户提供自动回退功能。现在已经不是17世纪了。

当然，它可以被覆盖，但如下所示:

import yagmail
yag = yagmail.SMTP("me@example.com", "mypassword")

html_msg = """<p>Hi!<br>
              How are you?<br>
              Here is the <a href="http://www.python.org">link</a> you wanted.</p>"""

yag.send("to@example.com", "the subject", html_msg)

下面是发送HTML电子邮件的简单方法，只需指定Content-Type头为'text/ HTML ':

import email.message
import smtplib

msg = email.message.Message()
msg['Subject'] = 'foo'
msg['From'] = 'sender@test.com'
msg['To'] = 'recipient@test.com'
msg.add_header('Content-Type','text/html')
msg.set_payload('Body of <b>message</b>')

# Send the message via local SMTP server.
s = smtplib.SMTP('localhost')
s.starttls()
s.login(email_login,
        email_passwd)
s.sendmail(msg['From'], [msg['To']], msg.as_string())
s.quit()

对于python3，改进@taltman的回答:

使用email.message. emailmessage而不是email.message. message来构造email。 使用电子邮件。Set_content func, assign subtype='html'参数。而不是低级的func set_payload和手动添加头。 使用SMTP。send_message func而不是SMTP。Sendmail func发送电子邮件。 与块一起使用，可自动关闭连接。

from email.message import EmailMessage
from smtplib import SMTP

# construct email
email = EmailMessage()
email['Subject'] = 'foo'
email['From'] = 'sender@test.com'
email['To'] = 'recipient@test.com'
email.set_content('<font color="red">red color text</font>', subtype='html')

# Send the message via local SMTP server.
with smtplib.SMTP('localhost') as s:
    s.login('foo_user', 'bar_password')
    s.send_message(email)

从Office 365中的组织帐户发送电子邮件的最简单解决方案:

from O365 import Message

html_template =     """ 
            <html>
            <head>
                <title></title>
            </head>
            <body>
                    {}
            </body>
            </html>
        """

final_html_data = html_template.format(df.to_html(index=False))

o365_auth = ('sender_username@company_email.com','Password')
m = Message(auth=o365_auth)
m.setRecipients('receiver_username@company_email.com')
m.setSubject('Weekly report')
m.setBodyHTML(final_html_data)
m.sendMessage()

这里df是一个转换为html Table的数据帧，它被注入到html_template中
