[TriEmbed] Simplest way to send e-mail from Python? Carl?

[Carl Nobile]

Shane,

The only way to not send a password in clear text is to use one of the
secure mail transports using either port 587 or 995, both are different and
independent of programming language. The client in Python is quite easy,
and I have written many in the past. The Ruby code snippet would need to
use one of the two ports above in order to be secure which can be done in
any language. Also the receiving end must support the one you choose or you
won't even get a connection.

>From the code I see above that would send everything in clear text. To not
send a password or even use one would mean there was no password on the
account, which I don't believe. So, I'm a little confused here as to what
is happening.
