用 Markdown 写邮件，用 Python 发邮件

平时工作过程中不免要应用邮件，现有的邮件客户端在编辑体验上都不怎么敌对，在调整格局时尤其苦楚。以我的无限的人生教训来看，所见即所得的编辑软件往往不如纯文本编辑体验晦涩。近些年来，Markdown 逐步成为写作的利器，甚至当初有些出版社也曾经接管 Markdown 手稿。
那么，咱们是否应用 Markdown 来写邮件呢，而后写个 Python 小脚本去发送邮件呢？

邮件通信的内容应用 MIME（Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension) 编码，MIME 之于邮件客户端相似于 html 之于浏览器的关系。MIME 反对邮件承载多媒体内容，能够把 MIME 了解为受限的 html/css，然而 MIME 不反对 js 脚本 (平安起因)。

整个程序的工作原理如下图：

在本人喜爱的 Markdown 编辑器下编辑 markdown 文档 / 邮件

记得在 markdown 文档头部增加 formatter

To: 吴志国 <wuzhiguo_carter@qq.com>
Subject: 测试 Markdown 邮件

配置集体邮箱账号、明码 (切记不要在公共电脑寄存集体明码，也不要上传到公网)

能够寄存到 ~/.markdown-to-email.json

{
    "username": "your_account", 
    "smtp": "smtp.qq.com:587", 
    "password": "your password/authorization code" 
}

QQ 邮箱服务在应用第三方客户端登录时，须要申请受权码。详见：什么是受权码，它又是如何设置？

执行如下的 Python 代码

残缺示例，参考 git 仓库: https://gitee.com/dearyiming/…

本地预览 

python markdown_email.py -p --md <your markdown file>

发送邮件 

python markdown_email.py -s --md <your markdown file>
#!/usr/bin/env python

'''
Send an multipart email with HTML and plain text alternatives. The message
should be constructed as a plain-text file of the following format:
    
    From: Your Name <your@email.com>
    To: Recipient One <recipient@to.com>
    Subject: Your subject line
    ---
    Markdown content here
The script accepts content from stdin and, by default, prints the raw
generated email content to stdout.
Preview your message on OS X by invoking the script with `-p` or 
`--preview`, and it will open in your default mail client.
To send the message, invoke with `-s` or `--send`. You must have a
JSON file in your home directory named `.markdown-to-email.json`
with the following keys:
    {
        "username": "smtp-username", 
        "smtp": "smtp.gmail.com:587", 
        "password": "your-password" 
    }
Enjoy!
