[thelist] Multi-Part CFMail

Thu Dec 6 07:24:09 CST 2001

I'm using CF5.0 Professional server and working from samples that I've found
online to generate multi-part emails to users, but when I use these, I'm
getting the header information in the email itself instead of the html
version.

I have the following code:

<cfset MimeBoundary="--1FAEA046-E909-11D5-98A600508BB0E4E5">
<cfmail to="cewing at mooremedical.com" from="cewing at mooremedical.com"
subject="Text/HTML Email Test 3"> 
     <cfmailparam name="MIME-Version" value="1.0"> 
     <cfmailparam name="Content-Type" value="multipart/alternative;      
     boundary=#chr(34)##mimeBoundary##chr(34)#"> 
     <cfmailparam name="Content-Transfer-Encoding" value="7bit"> 
     --#mimeBoundary# 
     Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii 
     Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit 

   This is the Plain Text section.  This <b>should not be bold</b>

     --#mimeBoundary# 
     Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii 
     Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit 

        <html><body>
   Dude this is an HTML email.<Br>
   <font color="##FF0000">This text should be red</font><br><br><br><br>
   This should be 4 lines beneath the last text.<Br>
   <h1>This should be a headline.</h1><br>
   Please forward this back to me
   </body></html>

     --#mimeBoundary#-- 
     </cfmail>

This generates an email to me that looks like:

     ----1FAEA046-E909-11D5-98A600508BB0E4E5 
     Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii 
     Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit 

   This is the Plain Text section.  This <b>should not be bold</b>

     ----1FAEA046-E909-11D5-98A600508BB0E4E5 
     Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii 
     Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit 

        <html><body>
   Dude this is an HTML email.<Br>
   <font color="#FF0000">This text should be red</font><br><br><br><br>
   This should be 4 lines beneath the last text.<Br>
   <h1>This should be a headline.</h1><br>
   Please forward this back to me
   </body></html>

     ----1FAEA046-E909-11D5-98A600508BB0E4E5-- 

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
