I am reading .txt file in Python code and I should get the same mail body what I have in my text file.
It is working fine but hyperlinks not displayed in my outlook email, it displays only as text in outlook email.
Below is the code:
Mail_Content = open("MailBody.txt","r")
Read_Content = Mail_Content.read()
In the text file , passing content like this for hyperlink:
linkname,'html'
Please help me out, I am trying to fix this from last two days.
Firstly, you really need to show the code that sets the message body. Secondly, make sure you set the MailItem.HTMLBody rather than the plaintext MailItem.Body.
Make sure the BodyFormat property is set up correctly before setting the HTMLBody property in the code, for example, here is a VBA sample which shows how to set up it properly:
Sub CreateHTMLMail()
'Creates a new email item and modifies its properties.
Dim objMail As MailItem
'Create mail item
Set objMail = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With objMail
'Set body format to HTML
.BodyFormat = olFormatHTML
.HTMLBody = "<HTML><H2>The body of this message will appear in HTML.</H2><BODY>Type the message text here. </BODY></HTML>"
.Display
End With
End Sub

I'm trying to automatize Outlook with python with win32com.client in python.
I have already a Macro that creates me a email, with all the subject and attached files.
The problem is that when I try to automatize it with Python, i don't know how to select the window that the macro open with all the info, and put the address to whom i want to send.
Example:
I want to send it to "Albert" all the emails that has number "1234" in attach files.
Also, i get error " AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'To' "
outlook = win32.dynamic.Dispatch('Outlook.Application')
namespace = outlook.GetNameSpace('MAPI')
mail = outlook.ActiveWindow().Display()
print(type(mail))
mail. To = "Albert#gmail.com"
mail. Send()
Code from VBA is : (i deleted some details that are not important)
'Generate MailID
strMailID = GenerateMailID
'Generate xls file
strFileName =Environ$("temp") & "/file directory"
'Create mail and attach xls file
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
With OutMail
.Subject = "DETAILS FROM EXCEL "
.HTMLBody = "DETAIILS "
.Attachments.Add strFileName
.UserProperties.Add "MailID", 1, False, 1
.UserProperties("MailID") = strMailID
.Display
Firstly, Application.ActiveWindow will return either Explorer or Inspector object, and you only want the latter. The current inspector is returned by Application.ActiveInspector.
And once you have an Inspector object, use Inspector.CurrentItem to retrieve the message being composed.
Thirdly, if you alreay have code that creates the message, why not simply call MailItem.Display to show it to the user? And if the message is shown in an inspector, why do you need to call MailItem.Send instead of letting the user click the Send button when they are ready? You really need to post your code that creates the message.
I'm trying to write a Python script code wherein I’ll send email notifications to my team members on a daily basis.
There are two excel sheets, let's say abc.xlsx and def.xlsx.
I already have a script that updates these files and saves them. (These files abc and def are deleted and recreated with the same name but with updated information.)
Now my goal is to attach the file abc as an attachment in the mail and add the contents of def.xlsx in the email body.
I’m trying to achieve this:
Hello All,
Please find the pending lists here as follows:
///The info from def.xlsx sheet comes here///
Thanks and regards!
/// my outlook signature///
Here is my code:
import win32com.client as win32
import pandas as pd
# reading a file, which needs to be on mail body
df1 = pd.read_excel('def.xlsx')
html_table = df1.to_html(index=False)
outlook = win32.gencache.EnsureDispatch('Outlook.Application')
mail = outlook.CreateItem(0)
mail.To = 'mail#me.com'
mail.CC = 'mail#me.com'
mail.Subject = 'Test mail'
# path to signature should be User\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Signatures\signature.htm
pathToIMage = r'path_to_my_signature'
attachment = mail.Attachments.Add(pathToIMage)
attachment.PropertyAccessor.SetProperty("http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x3712001F", "MyId1")
# modify the mail body as per need
mail.Attachments.Add(Source="C:\..abc.xlsx")
body = "<p>Hi All, Please find the updates pending updates below:" + html_table + " <br>Thanks and regards <p> <figure><img src=""cid:MyId1""</figure>"
mail.HTMLBody = (body)
mail.Send()
Example:
This type of output I'm expecting
Challenges:
My signature will be a corrupted image with a "x" in it in the test email.
My Excel sheet, which has to be on the body, won't have the same format.
I’ve copied all the codes from Stack overflow only. I did some of my research, but I'm not getting the expected output.
First, you may try setting the BodyFormat property before setting up the HTMLBody property.
Second, to get the signature added to the message body you need to call the Display method before setting up the HTMLBody property.
Third, the <figure> element is not supported in Outlook because Word is used as an email editor and applies its own business rules to message bodies.
Fourth, the HTMLBody property returns or sets a string which represents the message body, it is expected to get or set a full-fledged well-formed HTML document. Try to set up a well-formed HTML document and then set up a property.
If you need to preserve formatting from Excel you may copy the table to the clipboard and then paste it using the Word object model.
Be aware, The Outlook object model supports three main ways of customizing the message body:
The Body property returns or sets a string representing the clear-text body of the Outlook item.
The HTMLBody property of the MailItem class returns or sets a string representing the HTML body of the specified item. Setting the HTMLBody property will always update the Body property immediately. For example:
Sub CreateHTMLMail()
'Creates a new e-mail item and modifies its properties.
Dim objMail As Outlook.MailItem
'Create e-mail item
Set objMail = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With objMail
'Set body format to HTML
.BodyFormat = olFormatHTML
.HTMLBody = "<HTML><BODY>Enter the message text here. </BODY></HTML>"
.Display
End With
End Sub
The Word object model can be used for dealing with message bodies. See Chapter 17: Working with Item Bodies for more information.
Note, the MailItem.BodyFormat property allows you to programmatically change the editor that is used for the body of an item.
I modified it. I'm still working on Challenge 2. I'll just go through the documentation that has been recommended and will share my final script.
import win32com.client as win32
import pandas as pd
import os
import codecs
df1 = pd.read_excel('mail_body.xlsx')
html_table = df1.to_html(index=False)
# below is the coding logic for signature
sig_files_path = 'AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Signatures\\' + 'signature_file_name' + '_files\\'
sig_html_path = 'AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Signatures\\' + 'signature_file_name' + '.htm'
signature_path = os.path.join((os.environ['USERPROFILE']), sig_files_path)
html_doc = os.path.join((os.environ['USERPROFILE']), sig_html_path)
html_doc = html_doc.replace('\\\\', '\\')
html_file = codecs.open(html_doc, 'r', 'utf-8', errors='ignore')
signature_code = html_file.read()
signature_code = signature_code.replace(('signature_file_name' + '_files/'), signature_path)
html_file.close()
outlook = win32.gencache.EnsureDispatch('Outlook.Application')
mail = outlook.CreateItem(0)
mail.To = 'mail#me.com'
mail.CC = 'mail#me.com'
mail.Subject = 'TEST EMAIL'
mail.Attachments.Add(Source=r"C:\..abc.xlsx")
# modify the mail body as per need
mail.BodyFormat = 2
body = "<p>Hi All, Please find the updates pending updates below:" + html_table + " <br>Thanks and regards <br><br>"
mail.Display()
mail.HTMLBody = body + signature_code
mail.Send()
I'm trying to copy a specific line from the mail body but I don't know how to do that.
I thought regex could solve my problem but didn't know how to implement it again.
mail body:
Line1
line2
line3
line4
line5
line6 - File Name
line7 - count
I want only want to copy the File Name & paste it into an excel file.
import pandas as pd
import win32com.client as client
outlook = cliet.Dispaatch("Outlook.Application"),GetNameSpace("MAPI")
prod_path = outlook.Folders("emailId").Folders[1].Items
#print(prod_path.FolderPath)
mailbox = mailbox.Restrict("#SQL=(urn:schemas:httmail:subject like 'subject')")
listofmails = []
for mail in mailbox:
listofmails.append(mail.body)
#print(mail.body)
The Outlook object model supports three main ways of dealing with the message body:
The Body property returns or sets a string representing the clear-text body of the Outlook item.
The HTMLBody property of the MailItem class returns or sets a string representing the HTML body of the specified item. Setting the HTMLBody property will always update the Body property immediately. For example:
Sub CreateHTMLMail()
'Creates a new e-mail item and modifies its properties.
Dim objMail As Outlook.MailItem
'Create e-mail item
Set objMail = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With objMail
'Set body format to HTML
.BodyFormat = olFormatHTML
.HTMLBody = "<HTML><BODY>Enter the message text here. </BODY></HTML>"
.Display
End With
End Sub
The Word object model can be used for dealing with message bodies. See Chapter 17: Working with Item Bodies for more information.
So, you can use the Word object model to find out the line of text required for you.
Pretty new to Python. My goal is to download only email attachments from certain senders of .xls and .docx filetypes to a specified folder. I have the sender conditions working but can't get the program to filter to the specific filetypes I want. The code below downloads all attachments from the listed senders including image signatures (not desired.) The downloaded attachments contain data that will be further used in a df. I'd like to keep it within win32com since I have other working email scraping programs that use it. I appreciate any suggestions.
Partially working code:
import win32com.client
Outlook = win32com.client.Dispatch("Outlook.Application").GetNamespace("MAPI")
inbox = outlook.GetDefaultFolder(6)
Items = inbox.Items
Item = Items.GetFirst()
def saveAttachments(email:object):
for attachedFile in email.Attachments:
try:
filename = attachedFile.FileName
attachedFile.SaveAsFile("C:\\Outputfolder"+filename)
except Exception as e:
print(e)
for mailItem in inbox.Items:
if mailItem.SenderName == "John Smith" or mailItem.SenderName == "Mike Miller":
saveAttachments(mailItem)
Firstly, don't loop through all item in a folder - use Items.Find/FindNext or Items.Restrict with a query on the SenderName property - see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/outlook.items.restrict
As for the attachment, a image attachment is not any different from any other attachment. You can check the file extension or the size. You can also read the PR_ATTACH_CONTENT_ID property (DASL name http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x3712001F) using Attachment.PropertyAccessor.GetProperty and check if it is used in an img tag in the MailItem.HTMLBody property.
Currently you save all attached files on the disk:
for attachedFile in email.Attachments:
try:
filename = attachedFile.FileName
attachedFile.SaveAsFile("C:\\Outputfolder"+filename)
except Exception as e:
print(e)
only email attachments from certain senders of .xls and .docx filetypes to a specified folder.
The Attachment.FileName property returns a string representing the file name of the attachment. So, parsing the filename by extracting the file extension will help you to filter files that should be saved on the disk.
Also you may be interested in avoiding hidden attachments used for inline images in the message body. Here is an example code in VBA (the Outlook object model is common for all programming languages, I am not familiar with Python) that counts the visible attachments:
Sub ShowVisibleAttachmentCount()
Const PR_ATTACH_CONTENT_ID As String = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x3712001F"
Const PR_ATTACHMENT_HIDDEN As String = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x7FFE000B"
Dim m As MailItem
Dim a As Attachment
Dim pa As PropertyAccessor
Dim c As Integer
Dim cid as String
Dim body As String
c = 0
Set m = Application.ActiveInspector.CurrentItem
body = m.HTMLBody
For Each a In m.Attachments
Set pa = a.PropertyAccessor
cid = pa.GetProperty(PR_ATTACH_CONTENT_ID)
If Len(cid) > 0 Then
If InStr(body, cid) Then
Else
'In case that PR_ATTACHMENT_HIDDEN does not exists,
'an error will occur. We simply ignore this error and
'treat it as false.
On Error Resume Next
If Not pa.GetProperty(PR_ATTACHMENT_HIDDEN) Then
c = c + 1
End If
On Error GoTo 0
End If
Else
c = c + 1
End If
Next a
MsgBox c
End Sub
Also you may check whether the message body (see the HTMLBody property of Outlook items) contains the PR_ATTACH_CONTENT_ID property value. If not, the attached can be visible to users if the PR_ATTACHMENT_HIDDEN property is not set explicitly.
Also you may find the Sending Outlook Email with embedded image using VBS thread helpful.
I would like to create an hyperlink in the body of a task created through win32com.
This is my code so far:
outlook = win32com.client.Dispatch("Outlook.Application")
outlook_task_item = 3
recipient = "my_email#site.com"
task = outlook.CreateItem(outlook_task_item)
task.Subject = "hello world"
task.Body = "please update the file here"
task.DueDate = dt.datetime.today()
task.ReminderTime = dt.datetime.today()
task.ReminderSet = True
task.Save()
I have tried to set the property task.HTMLBody but I get the error:
AttributeError: Property 'CreateItem.HTMLBody' can not be set.
I have also tried
task.Body = "Here is the <a href='http://www.python.org'>link</a> I need"
but I am not getting a proper hyperlink.
However if I create a task front end in Outlook, I am able to add hyperlinks.
You can also try:
task.HTMLBody = "Here is the <a href='http://www.python.org'>link</a> I need"
this will overwrite data in 'task.Body' to the HTML format provides in 'task.HTMLBody'
so whichever (Body or HTMLBody) is last will be taken as the Body of the mail.
Tasks do not support HTML. Instead, you have to provide RTF.
You can investigate -- but not set -- the RTF of a given task through task.RTFBody (and task.RTFBody.obj to get a convenient view of it). To use RTF in the body of a task, simply use the task.Body property; setting this to a byte array containing RTF will automatically use that RTF in the body. Concretely, to get the body you want, you could let
task.Body = rb'{\rtf1{Here is the }{\field{\*\fldinst { HYPERLINK "https://www.python.org" }}{\fldrslt {link}}}{ I need}}'
