I'm trying to send an email with the text of an txt file, the text is just a couple rows of text. The output I get when I run these is 'ascii' codec can't encode character '\xe9' in position 87: ordinal not in range(128) 

bodyFloat = ("")
for differentNews in fileOpen:
    bodyFloat = bodyFloat + differentNews
    bodyFloat = bodyFloat + "\n"

sender = "sender@gmail.com"
reciver = ["reciver@gmail.com"]
password = "password"
body = str(bodyFloat)
print(body)
subject = "The daily news"


with smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 587) as mail:

    mail.ehlo()
    mail.starttls()
    mail.ehlo()
    mail.login(sender, password)

    message = f'Subject: {subject}\n\n{body}'
    mail.sendmail(sender, reciver,message)

  • The fundamental problem is that SMTP requires UTF-8 to be properly tagged and encapsulated in a MIME structure, not just copied verbatim. I added a duplicate which shows how to do it properly. In brief, use the `email` library to compose a valid MIME message. – tripleee Jan 30 '20 at 14:51
