This program is not a general email client. It simply creates a dummy smtp server to catch all outgoing mail and present it in html view, source view, text view (for multipart emails with alternate text versions), raw headers, and attachments.
While it does render html emails it does not present accurate test renderings of email clients. The rendering is handled with webkit, so it likely supports more html features than normal email clients.

- install pywebkit (via package manager if possible)
- install gtksourceview2
- main.py
- install python 2.7
- install these packages (specifically gtk, gtksourceview, webkit): http://opensourcepack.blogspot.com/2011/01/conservative-all-in-one-pygtk-installer.html (the pygtk_aio-2011_win32_installer_py25-27-rev5.exe is the latest as of 2011-08-17)
- run main.py
I presume it should work, although I've not successfully installed webkit and gtksourceview
The server starts automatically. The only configuration is the port, which is 1025 by default on 127.0.0.1. Running port 25 may require admin priviledges. When testing your programs with this app point your smtp mail settings this host and port and the app will catch all outgoing emails.
