Why is email not being received if it appears to be successfully sent?

Question

I cant understand why I'm not receiving email from this function ... as you can see the smtp transcript is successful

I switched to using 10minutemail.com to receive email to make sure it wasnt being blocked by a blacklist or something.

I also have been successful in sending plain text using a script in the same directory to the same recipient and from the same sender and it worked fine.

it seems to be happening only from the program... a command-line script works just fine. — Terrence Brannon, Jul 28 '12 at 06:54
The transcript shows multiple Mime-Version: headers and other hints that the message was hand crafted. If you send a valid, well-formed message, does that get through? — tripleee, Jul 28 '12 at 06:54
The message was not hand-crafted. Python's email module did it, per the source code. — Terrence Brannon, Jul 28 '12 at 07:22
Well, it is not well-formed. There can only be a single Mime-Version header, one Subject, one From: etc. — tripleee, Jul 28 '12 at 10:57

OK I figured it out. You have to attach HTML only, otherwise, it will try to render the plain text and not show the html.
