annunce: excelmailer 0.2
ExcelMailer is a small os-independent command line business tool for
emailing personalized messages with attachments. Data and options are specified via an Excel file and the message content via plain text or HTML file templates. For each data row in the Excel file ExcelMailer prepares and sends, when explicitly requested, a personalized MIME email message and its attachments if any. Highlights: - The text message may be in plain text or in HTML or in both i.e. in HTML with an alternative plain text version. - May define any number of data columns (only to is required) that are then all accessible in the message templates with ${ column heading }. - Rich and flexible set of options, that may be conveniently saved in the Excel file itself as well as be explicitly overridden on the command line. - Automatic recognition of input text encodings. Output text is always encoded in UTF-8. - Extensive data validation before sending any messages. No emails are sent unless explicitly requested and all data checks pass. No error goes silent. - Data rows can be tagged, for test runs or selective re-runs. - All actions, such as sending of an email, are logged to a file named ${ excel file }.log, placed alongside the Excel file. ExcelMailer is written in python and uses John Machin's excellent xlrd package. License is GPL3, and it is available from: http://gizmojo.org/software/excelmailer/ Any and all comments, problem reports, suggestions welcome! All the best, mario |
