Email function does not work after put in a class

Question

So basically I copy and pasted an email sending python script which works. This is the code:

import smtplib

gmail_user = 'email@email.com'
gmail_password = 'P@ssword!'

sent_from = gmail_user
to = ['bill@gmail.com']
subject = 'OMG Super Important Message'
body = 'Hey, whats up?\n\n- You'

email_text = """\
From: %s
To: %s
Subject: %s

%s
""" % (sent_from, ", ".join(to), subject, body)

try:
    server = smtplib.SMTP_SSL('smtp.gmail.com', 465)
    server.ehlo()
    server.login(gmail_user, gmail_password)
    server.sendmail(sent_from, to, email_text)
    server.close()

    print ('Email sent!')
except:
    print ('Something went wrong...')

The result is as perfectly described:

Unfortunately, I put the code within a class to execute as a function from another main function. Code is as below:

import smtplib

class EmailSending():
    def doneEmail(self):

        gmail_user = 'email@email.com'
        gmail_password = 'P@ssword!'

        sent_from = gmail_user
        to = ['bill@gmail.com']
        subject = 'OMG Super Important Message'
        body = 'Hey, whats up?\n\n- You'

        email_text = """\
        From: %s
        To: %s
        Subject: %s

        %s
        """ % (sent_from, ", ".join(to), subject, body)

        try:
            server = smtplib.SMTP_SSL('smtp.gmail.com', 465)
            server.ehlo()
            server.login(gmail_user, gmail_password)
            server.sendmail(sent_from, to, email_text)
            server.close()

            print('Email sent!')
        except:
            print('Something went wrong...')

ef = EmailSending()
ef.doneEmail()

The only code that changed is that it is now in a class function. But when calling it, it returns a different result, shown below

The email still sends to my email but everything else is out. Can anyone help me out? Thx

You have added spaces at the beginnings of the lines containing From: and so on. Remove them:

class EmailSending():
    def doneEmail(self):

        gmail_user = 'email@email.com'
        gmail_password = 'P@ssword!'

        sent_from = gmail_user
        to = ['bill@gmail.com']
        subject = 'OMG Super Important Message'
        body = 'Hey, whats up?\n\n- You'

        email_text = """\
From: %s
To: %s
Subject: %s

%s
""" % (sent_from, ", ".join(to), subject, body)

        try:
            server = smtplib.SMTP_SSL('smtp.gmail.com', 465)
            server.ehlo()
            server.login(gmail_user, gmail_password)
            server.sendmail(sent_from, to, email_text)
            server.close()

            print('Email sent!')
        except:
            print('Something went wrong...')

ef = EmailSending()
ef.doneEmail()
