How can I send email in plain text? #166

Hi,

I am trying to send email with plain text, but I always receive email with
tags. yag.send(data['email'], data['subject'], data['contents'])

If this is not a feature, please add it if possible!!! I created a gmail account exclusively for sending updates from my PC to my phone and personal email, and the formatting looks horrible in HTML.

I've found that my test emails are being sent as html/text; at least I can use my email program (Evolution) to select the format I want to see. The docs here mention a raw setting for forcing emails in text only, but I can't get it to work.

Does the following not work?

import yagmail
yag = yagmail.SMTP("username", "password")
yag.send(contents=yagmail.raw("hi"))

It does, but it's coming in as both html and text. I was hoping to send text-only emails, mainly to my phone (as SMS), but also to my PC.

I guess for simple emails you can then simply use smtplib.

OK, no big deal. Using the .raw method works great on my phone; the only anomaly is that the last 2 characters get cut off the body of the message (seriously doubt that's on your end). Thanks for your help!
