Like kinda like this.

objMsg = MIMEMultipart()
objMsg["Subject"] = "SUBJECT"

filename = "text.doc"
f = file(filename)
attachment = MIMEText(f.read())
attachment.add_header('Content-Disposition', 'attachment', filename=filename)           
objMsg.attach(attachment)

SmtpServer = smtplib.SMTP_SSL("smtp.gmail.com", 465); SmtpServer.ehlo()
SmtpServer.login(strEmailAc, strEmailPass)
SmtpServer.sendmail(strEmailAc, strEmailAc, objMsg.as_string())
SmtpServer.close()

Corrupted doc attachment. Can't open it And Thanks for prompt reply.

You probably have to add, f.close() after the attachment = MIMEText(f.read()).

Also make sure you are using correct path.

Again same error i think that the file cannot be opened in text format. any other way to send it Thanks in advance

Maybe try opening file as byte. So f = file(filename, "rb")

It's almost resolve but the attachment is still corrupted. Instead the body of the email contain the matter present in .doc file

But it comes with lot of residue. Thanks in advance
