Load MHT and Send as Email

Load a .MHT file and send it as email.

Download Chilkat Python Library

import sys
import chilkat

#  The mailman object is used for sending and receiving email.
mailman = chilkat.CkMailMan()

#  Any string argument automatically begins the 30-day trial.
success = mailman.UnlockComponent("30-day trial")
if (success != True):
    print "Component unlock failed"
    sys.exit()

#  Set the SMTP server.
mailman.put_SmtpHost("smtp.comcast.net")

#  Create a new email object
email = chilkat.CkEmail()

#  MHT is MIME and therefore can be loaded directly
#  into an email object via the email.LoadEml method.
#  However, if the HTML sub-part of the MIME contains
#  header fields such as this:

#  Content-ID: <BalanceSheet>
#  Content-Disposition: inline;
#  	filename="BalanceSheet"
#  Content-Type: text/html;
#  	name="BalanceSheet";
#  	charset="utf-8"

#  Microsoft Outlook will interpret this as an attached HTML file
#  rather than the HTML body of the email.  Interestingly,
#  Mozilla Thunderbird handles it correctly, but Outlook does not.
#  Google's GMail also handles it correctly.  Yahoo Mail doesn't
#  know what to do and displays nothing -- not even the "attachment".

#  Rather than loading the MHT into the email object, we'll
#  first load it into a Chilkat MIME object and check for
#  these headers.  We want the header fields of the HTML sub-part
#  to look like this:

#  Content-Type: text/html;
#  	charset="utf-8"

#  To do so, we'll remove the Content-ID and Content-Disposition
#  header fields, and the "name" attribute from the
#  Content-Type header.

#  Note: Chilkat MIME is a separate product.  This code
#  would require licenses to both Chilkat Email and Chilkat Mime,
#  or alternatively a Chilkat Bundle license (which includes
#  all Chilkat components).
