Hi Guys,
I’ve been working on a script that sends an email through python within Blender.
I could get one simple version that works well without the feature of sending attachments. But now, I need to be able to send attachments as well.
Outside Blender, the script works well. But when I am inside Blender and run the script it gives me some errors but I can’t figure out how to fix it.
Im using a 33775 branch for mac os x.
Would anybody have any idea how to make it work?
Thanks for your attention in advance.
