#!/usr/bin/env python """Send the contents of a directory as a MIME message. Usage: dirmail [options] from to [to ...]* Options: -h / --help Print this message and exit. -d directory --directory=directory Mail the contents of the specified directory, otherwise use the current directory. Only the regular files in the directory are sent, and we don't recurse to subdirectories. `from' is the email address of the sender of the message. `to' is the email address of the recipient of the message, and multiple recipients may be given. The email is sent by forwarding to your local SMTP server, which then does the normal delivery process. Your local machine must be running an SMTP server.
