# Open a plain text file for reading.  For this example, assume that
# the text file contains only ASCII characters.
fp = open('content.txt', 'rb')
# Create a text/plain message
msg = MIMEText(fp.read())
fp.close()

me = 'orsenthil@gmail.com'

# Send the message via our own SMTP server, but don't include the
# envelope header.
s = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com')
s.sendmail(me, [you], msg.as_string())
s.quit()
