Im using the following code to send a message with a .docx attached (all personal emails replaced with @gmail.com)

from __future__ import print_function
import httplib2
import os
import base64
from email.mime.audio import MIMEAudio

def get_credentials():
    """Gets valid user credentials from storage.

    If nothing has been stored, or if the stored credentials are invalid,
    the OAuth2 flow is completed to obtain the new credentials.

    Returns:
        Credentials, the obtained credential.
    """
    home_dir = os.path.expanduser('~')
    credential_dir = os.path.join(home_dir, '.credentials')
    if not os.path.exists(credential_dir):
        os.makedirs(credential_dir)

                                   'gmail-quickstart.json')

    store = oauth2client.file.Storage(credential_path)
    credentials = store.get()
    if not credentials or credentials.invalid:
        flow = client.flow_from_clientsecrets(CLIENT_SECRET_FILE, SCOPES)
        flow.user_agent = APPLICATION_NAME
        if flags:
            credentials = tools.run_flow(flow, store, flags)
        else: # Needed only for compatability with Python 2.6
            credentials = tools.run(flow, store)
        print('Storing credentials to ' + credential_path)
    return credentials
credentials = get_credentials()
service = build('gmail', 'v1', http=credentials.authorize(Http()))

def send_message(service, user_id, message):
  try:
    message = service.users().messages().send(userId=user_id, body=message).execute()

  message.attach(msg)

  content_type, encoding = mimetypes.guess_type(file)

  if content_type is None or encoding is not None:
    content_type = 'application/octet-stream'

  main_type, sub_type = content_type.split('/', 1)

  if main_type == 'text':
    fp = open(file, 'rb')

    fp.close()

  return {'raw': raw_message.decode("utf-8")}

today = date.today()
dte = today.strftime("%d.%m.%Y")

teacher = ["Hugo Bohácsek","Jana Manczálová","Iveta Rybárová"]
adr = ["@gmail.com","@gmail.com","@gmail.com"]
sub_a = ["Informatika","Fyzika","Matematika"]
sub = ["Informatiky","Fyziky","Matematiky"]
r = 0
for i in teacher:
  r+=1
  print(r,") ",i, sep="")
who = int(input("Číslo vybraného učiteľa: "))-1
file_name = "%s_uloha.docx" %sub_a[who].lower()
a = "Riešenie príkladov z %s" %sub[who]
b = "Dobrý deň,\nPosielam vám vypracované úlohy z %s.\nHugo Bohácsek, Ki.B %s" %(sub[who],dte)

mine = create_message_with_attachment("@gmail.com",adr[who],a,b,file_name)
testSend = send_message(service, 'me', mine)

The problem: I've read that the corruption is caused by Null being inserted into the document, by replacing it with " " the problem is fixed. Any idea how to do that? Also when i try to change the attachment name, word wont open the file anymore.

  • Where have you read that "the corruption is caused by Null being inserted into the document, by replacing it with " " the problem is fixed."? Do you encounter the same problem sending attachments of other mimetypes? Have you had a look at the [Gmail API guide](https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/guides/uploads) for sending messages with attachments – ziganotschka Apr 02 '20 at 09:06
  • I saw it here on stack but it was for word saving. No only office documents corrupt amd ive read the docs – oguh43 Apr 02 '20 at 14:37
