+:mod:`email`: Examples
+----------------------
+
+Here are a few examples of how to use the :mod:`email` package to read, write,
+and send simple email messages, as well as more complex MIME messages.
+
+First, let's see how to create and send a simple text message (both the
+text content and the addresses may contain unicode characters):
+
+.. literalinclude:: ../includes/email-simple.py
+
+
+Parsing :rfc:`822` headers can easily be done by the using the classes
+from the :mod:`~email.parser` module:
+
+.. literalinclude:: ../includes/email-headers.py
+
+
+Here's an example of how to send a MIME message containing a bunch of family
+pictures that may be residing in a directory:
+
+.. literalinclude:: ../includes/email-mime.py
+
+
+Here's an example of how to send the entire contents of a directory as an email
+message: [1]_
+
+.. literalinclude:: ../includes/email-dir.py
+
+
+Here's an example of how to unpack a MIME message like the one
+above, into a directory of files:
+
+.. literalinclude:: ../includes/email-unpack.py
+
+
+Here's an example of how to create an HTML message with an alternative plain
+text version.  To make things a bit more interesting, we include a related
+image in the html part, and we save a copy of what we are going to send to
+disk, as well as sending it.
+
+.. literalinclude:: ../includes/email-alternative.py
+
+
+If we were sent the message from the last example, here is one way we could
+process it:
+
+.. literalinclude:: ../includes/email-read-alternative.py
+
+Up to the prompt, the output from the above is:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+    To: Penelope Pussycat <penelope@example.com>, Fabrette Pussycat <fabrette@example.com>
+    From: Pepé Le Pew <pepe@example.com>
