Hi Bruce

With the help of Lundh's *Python Standard Library* I got to the
following. This is in the external method:

import string
def testmail(self):
        message = "This is a test"
        mto = "Bruce@EckelObjects.com"
        mfrom = "Bruce@EckelObjects.com"
        subject = "Test Email"
        encode = None

        body = string.join((
                "From: %s" % mfrom,
                "To: %s" % mto,
                "Subject: %s" % subject,
                "",
                message), "\r\n")

        self.MailHost.send(body, [mto], mfrom, subject, encode)
