This fork was created as a workaround for the library limitations at the time and should not be used anymore.
The current community-maintaned fork should be used instead: https://github.com/go-mail/mail
This repository contains mail packages for Go:
- gomail is the main package of this repository, it provides a simple interface to easily write and send emails.
- mailer provides functions to easily send emails. It should be used with or inside a package that helps writing emails like it is done in gomail.
- quotedprintable is a package that implements quoted-printable and message header encoding. Someday, it might enter the Go standard library.
You are more than welcome to ask questions on the Go mailing-list and open issues here if you find bugs.
Package gomail provides a simple interface to easily write and send emails.
Example:
package main
import (
"log"
"github.com/alexcesaro/mail/gomail"
)
func main() {
msg := gomail.NewMessage()
msg.SetAddressHeader("From", "[email protected]", "Alex")
msg.SetHeader("To", "[email protected]")
msg.AddHeader("To", "[email protected]")
msg.SetHeader("Subject", "Hello!")
msg.SetBody("text/plain", "Hello Bob and Cora!")
msg.AddAlternative("text/html", "Hello <b>Bob</b> and <i>Cora</i>!")
if err := msg.Attach("/home/Alex/lolcat.jpg"); err != nil {
log.Println(err)
return
}
m := gomail.NewMailer("smtp.example.com", "user", "123456", 25)
if err := m.Send(msg); err != nil { // This will send the email to Bob and Cora
log.Println(err)
}
}
Package mailer provides functions to easily send emails.
This package can be used as a standalone but if you want to send emails with non-ASCII characters or with attachment you should use it with or inside a package that helps writing emails like it is done in gomail.
package main
import (
"log"
"net/mail"
"strings"
"github.com/alexcesaro/mail/mailer"
)
func main() {
msg := &mail.Message{
mail.Header{
"From": {"[email protected]"},
"To": {"[email protected]", "[email protected]"},
"Subject": {"Hello!"},
"Content-Type": {"text/plain"},
},
strings.NewReader("Hello, how are you ?"),
}
m := mailer.NewMailer("smtp.example.com", "user", "123456", 25)
if err := m.Send(msg); err != nil { // This will send the email to Bob and Cora
log.Println(err)
}
}
Package quotedprintable implements quoted-printable and message header encoding as specified by RFC 2045 and RFC 2047.
Someday, it might enter the Go standard library. See this post on the golang-dev mailing-list or this code review or issue 4943 of the Go bug tracker.
