I am writing this program from

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "send_email.py", line 18, in <module>
msg['Subject'] = 'The contents of $s' % message
NameError: name 'message' is not defined
i know the error would be something simple and i am overlooking it,
any help would be highly appreciated, I am sorry, but I am very new to
python programming.
This problem is generic to almost any programming language: you have not
defined the variable "message" before you try to use it in the format string.
In the example code, the variable is called "textfile" and is supposed to be
the name of a file containing some message text. The example code does not
define it; you need to do so.
After you sort that, you then have a ython problem: you have said "$s" in your
format string, but the python "%" operator expected "%s" in the format string.
Sort these two things and see how things proceed.

Personally, I find blinking text on a page to be extraordinarily annoying and
my first instinct is to back up one page, right away.
