Python MIMEText formatting

email, formatting, python

Solution

MIMEText supports html format. You can do this:

message="""\
    <html>
        <head></head>
        <body>
            <b>"""This is bold"""</b>
            <i>"""This is italic"""</i>
        </body>
    </html>
    """
MIMEText(message,'html')

Problem

I'm sending emails via python using MIMEText. A crude short example: ``` message = MIMEText('Hi,\n\nYour taxes are due.\n\nTODAY.\n\nBest,\n\nIRS.') ``` What if I want TODAY to be italicized and/or bolded in the email?
