Question

on my local Windows machine, how do i write a script to download a comic strip every day and email it to myself?

such as
http://comics.com/peanuts/

Update: i know how to download the image as a file. the hard part is how to email it from my local Windows machine.

Answer 1

Emailing it is easy. Pick a library in your favorite language and read the documentation. Send it through your regular email account, or create a new free GMail account for it.

• http://docs.python.org/library/email
• http://am.rubyonrails.org/
• http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php

Sometimes attachments can indeed be tricky, though. If nothing else, give it a good whirl with whatever library you like most, and post another specific question about any problems you encounter.
