How do I autoemail the text file which is created as an attachment once the user clicks y or n to the email
Stored in ‘Email’

Thanks

There are a couple options for sending email programatically:

1. The smtplib module in the standard library if you have access to an SMTP server. See the sendemail method on the SMTP class and the example at the bottom of the file.

2. An email sending web service. For example, if you use Gmail, Google provide the Gmail API, a REST API for interacting with Gmail.

Thanks
