google.appengine.api.mail.AdminEmailMessage

Interface that sends email messages to all administrators via the Mail API.

Inherits From: expected_type

This class is used to programmatically build an administrator email message to be sent via the Mail API. To use the class, construct an instance, populate its fields, and call Send().

Unlike normal email messages, addresses in the recipient fields are ignored and not used to send the message.

An AdminEmailMessage can be built completely by the constructor:

AdminEmailMessage(sender='sender@nowhere.com',
                  subject='a subject',
                  body='This is an email to you').Send()

You might want your application to build an administrator email in different places throughout the code. For this, AdminEmailMessage is mutable:

message = AdminEmailMessage()
message.sender = 'sender@nowhere.com'
message.subject = 'a subject'
message.body = 'This is an email to you'
message.check_initialized()
message.send()

mime_message The MIME message to initialize from. If the message is an instance of email.message.Message, mime_message will take ownership as specified the original message.
**kw List of keyword properties as defined by PROPERTIES.

original Gets the original MIME message from which values were set.

Methods

CheckInitialized

View source

Ensures that recipients have been specified.

Initialize

View source

IsInitialized

View source

Determines if EmailMessage is properly initialized.

Send

View source

ToMIMEMessage

View source

ToProto

View source

Converts an email message to a protocol message.

Unicode strings are converted to UTF-8 for all fields.

This method is overridden by EmailMessage to support the sender field.

Returns
The MailMessage protocol version of the mail message.

Raises
Decoding errors when using EncodedPayload objects.

bodies

View source

Iterates over all bodies.

Args
content_type Content type on which to filter. This argument allows you to select only specific types of content. You can use the base type or the content type.

For example:

content_type = 'text/html'  # Matches only HTML content.
content_type = 'text'       # Matches text of any kind.

Yields
A (content_type, payload) tuple for HTML and body in that order.

check_initialized

View source

Checks if EmailMessage is properly initialized.

This function tests if EmailMessage meets the basic requirements to be used with the Mail API. To function properly, this function requires that the following fields must be set or have at least one value in the case of multi-value fields:

- A subject must be set.
- A recipient must be specified.
- The message must contain a body.
- All bodies and attachments must decode properly.

This test does not include determining if the sender is actually authorized to send email for the application.

Raises
InvalidAttachmentTypeError The attachment type is invalid.
MissingRecipientsError No recipients were specified in the 'To', 'Cc', or 'Bcc' fields.
MissingSenderError A sender was not specified.
MissingSubjectError A subject was not specified.
MissingBodyError A body was not specified.
PayloadEncodingError The payload was not properly encoded.
UnknownEncodingError The payload encoding could not be determined.
UnknownCharsetError The character set of the payload could not be determined.

initialize

View source

Keyword initialization.

This function sets all fields of the email message using the keyword arguments.

Args
**kw List of keyword properties as defined by PROPERTIES.

is_initialized

View source

Determines if EmailMessage is properly initialized.

Returns
True if the message is properly initialized; otherwise returns False.

send

View source

Sends an email message via the Mail API.

Args
make_sync_call Method that will make a synchronous call to the API proxy.

to_mime_message

View source

Generates a MIMEMultipart message from EmailMessage.

This function calls MailMessageToMessage after converting self to the protocol buffer. The protocol buffer is better at handing corner cases than the EmailMessage class.

Returns
A MIMEMultipart message that represents the provided MailMessage.

Raises
InvalidAttachmentTypeError The attachment type was invalid.
MissingSenderError A sender was not specified.
MissingSubjectError A subject was not specified.
MissingBodyError A body was not specified.

update_from_mime_message

View source

Copies information from a MIME message.

Information from the email.Message instance is set to the values of the MIME message. This function will only copy values that it finds. Missing values will not be copied, nor will those values overwrite old values with blank values.

This object is not guaranteed to be initialized after this call.

Args
mime_message The email.Message instance from which to copy information.

Returns
A MIME message instance of the mime_message.
