The current implementation of send_email.py works well for sending basic emails, but there are a few areas for improvement. These changes will enhance security, consistency, and flexibility in the email-sending functionality.
Suggested Improvements

1. Fix Typo in Docstring:
Update recepient_mail to recepient_email in the docstring under Args to match the function parameter.
2. Improve Security by Avoiding Hardcoded Credentials:
Replace hardcoded credentials with environment variables. This will prevent sensitive information from being exposed in the code.
Update the if name == "main": block to load credentials from environment variables instead.
3. Allow HTML Formatting in Email Body:
Add an optional parameter to specify the email content type (e.g., "plain" or "html").
Modify the code to support HTML content in the email body if specified.
4. Add Network Error Handling:
Enhance error handling by catching network-related errors, such as connection timeouts, to provide better feedback when email sending fails.
5. Add Type Hints:
Add type hints to the function parameters and return type for better readability and to leverage type checking.
