set smtp-auth=login
set smtp-auth-user=hoge.hoge@gmail.com
set smtp-auth-password=hogepassword
set from="hoge.hoge@gmail.com(hoge)"

Note that you need to enable per-application password authentication if you want to use gmail recently.

$ python2 mail.py -s "email subject" hoge@hoge.com < hoge.txt

$ echo hoge | mail.py -s "email subject" hoge@hoge.com
$ python3 mailpy3.py -s "email subject" hoge@hoge.com < hoge.txt

UTF-8で扱っているので日本語もOkです。

Attach file

$ echo hoge | python2 mail.py -s "email subject" -a hoge.txt hoge@hoge.com

$ echo hoge | python3 mailpy3.py -s "email subject" -a hoge.txt hoge@hoge.com

Send html email

$ python2 mail.py -t html -s "Html mail" -r hoge.png < hoge.html

$ python3 mailpy3.py -t html -s "Html mail" -r hoge.png < hoge.html

Please note that hoge.png is used by the hoge.html and if you sepcify the resources with -r, mail.py will translate the URL; for example, <img src="hoge.png"> --> <img src="cid:hoge.png">
