In my mail tool they were the only bits that had any indentation at all! It would be useful if you can find a way to send plain text since Python indentation is critical, not to mention easier to read!

BTW Instead of

print '\n' print 'foo' print '\n'

its easier to do:

print '\nfoo\n'

or even

print ''' foo

'''

personally I'd go for the first option.

Where you need to substitute a function call use a format string:

print "\n%s\n" % acct.foo()

It keeps it shorter and easier to read.

As to the error, again it helps if you post the actual error report.
