for those times you just want to email stdin, and skip the rest

MailMe dot Py

Sometimes you just want to email a little something to yourself, or whoever, from your command line. And you can do that, but it's kinda more than you want to deal with (mutt), or it's going to be caught in your spam filter (mail).

For those occastions, there's mailme.py.

Simple usage: mailme "Hello, Mailbox!" will send "Hello, Mailbox!" to your email address. Done.

(NB: For now, out of the box mailme only supports Mailgun. That's easy enough to change.)

Usage

Stick your configuration in ~/.mailme/config:

mailgun_api_endpoint=https://api.mailgun.net/v2/EXAMPLE.mailgun.org/messages
mailgun_api_key=key-xxxxxxxxx
to=[e-mail]
from=[e-mail]
# subject = "mailme.py email" 

You can of course specify any of these from the command line:

» python mailme/mailme.py -h
usage: mailme.py [-h] [-c CONFIG] [-s SUBJECT] [-f FROM] [-t TO]
                 [--mailgun_api_key MAILGUN_API_KEY]
                 [--mailgun_api_endpoint MAILGUN_API_ENDPOINT]
