Simple example email wrapper for Boto's SES

Amazon_SES.py

"""
Example code for sending emails using boto's SES module. Its main purpose is to
show how easy it is to build multipart text/html emails.

Unfortunately, at this time Amazon's SES doesn't seem to allow you to add
attachments to messages, but if it does in the future it would probably look
like the code that I've commented out below the exception.

The SES module of the Boto package isn't quite finalized yet, but I currently
have this code running using Harry Marr's implementation which is available at:

hey, the new pattern is for send_raw_email is send_raw_email(raw_message, source=None, destinations=None), i would like to send only raw email but it gives me an error, i just replaced send_email function with send_raw_email

Seems to be allowed now...

HI, I am getting an error Can you please help me to resolve it?
