NIce, tight little script. But couldn't one add server and port arguments and just call it SMTPEmail? Nothing particular to Gmail....

@Mateyuzo, is a great idea. But there are plenty of better generic scripts for SMTP and I needed to use a straightforward solution for Gmail.

Which version of the email package does this require? I have email 6.0.0a01. It's says it's a test version for email 6. It works for some things, but it doesn't work for this script: it can't find email.MIMEMultipart, etc in email. I like this script because it handles body & attachments, what I have at the moment can do one or the other, but not both in the same email.

On further investigation I found that the version of email I had on my system had a different directory structure the one in the example - the functions appear to be present. All I had to do was alter the code to reflect those differences and I could invoke the required functions.
