I do the same thing (except no images) in our welcome letter as many people, especially developers do not want html email..

Marketing wants to send out a message to a bunch of our customers. Being Marketing, of course, they want to send HTML e-mail. I've convinced them that 1) Lots of people don't want/can't read HTML e-mail and 2) that links to a website from an HTML message to retrieve an image is are often (wisely) blocked within e-mail. So, I've convinced them that there should be a text alternative and that the image should be sent attached to the message. I can create an e-mail message with a plain text alternative section. I can create a message with the image attached. Unfortunately, I've been unable to do both. Help? I'm using CF5.0 on W2K. A non-CFMAIL solution is not viable. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- NOTICE:Unless expressly stated otherwise, this message is confidential and may be privileged.
