sendMail problem

[sangeeth]

def sendMail(to, subject,text,files=[],server="127.0.0.1"):
        assert type(to)==list
        assert type(files)==list
        fro = "xx@x.com"

        debug_print("CWD -> " + os.getcwd())
        msg = MIMEMultipart()
        msg['From'] = fro
        msg['To'] = COMMASPACE.join(to)
        msg['Date'] = formatdate(localtime=True)
        msg['Subject'] = subject

        msg_body =  MIMEBase('text', "html")
        msg_body.set_payload(text1)


        msg.attach(msg_body)
        
        for file in files:
                part = MIMEBase('application', "octet-stream")
                part.set_payload( open(file,"rb").read() )
                Encoders.encode_base64(part)
                part.add_header('Content-Disposition', 'attachment; filename="%s"' % os.path.basename(file))
                msg.attach(part)

        smtp = smtplib.SMTP(server)
        smtp.sendmail(fro, to, msg.as_string() )
        smtp.close()

Why is that for msg_body of bigger size I see some junk characters like "! and ;" appear.
Is there any limitation on the size of the mail sent.
help please

Where are these "junk characters" appearing? In the received email? In the message body? The subject line? The attachments?
Please elaborate.

Also, take a look at your data before you call the send function, does the information all look correct?

The junk character "!" is appearing in the message body
The junk character appears exactly after 2615 characters.
The text is fine before sending it through sendmail.
