Something like this in CFMX 6.1:
<CFMAIL ...>
<CFMAIL PARAM ...>
<CFMAILPART type="text">
Text version goes here
</CFMAILPART>
<CFMAILPART type="html">
<B>HTML version goes here</B>
</CFMAILPART>
</CFMAIL>
Here are some articles if you are using older versions of CF:

Again, all of the images and such will be linked and not embedded - there are plusses and minuses associated with linking and embedding in emails.

Subject: ColdFusion e-mail Engine
We are looking at creating a simple e-mail engine for an application. It will be very simple function to send fairly basic messages to a list of addresses. A lot like our favorite HOF messages.
Unfortunately, we can't get the powers-that-be to completely forgo all HTML in the e-mail messages. They are insisting on a graphic logo and probably some heading and emphasis (<H?>|<strong>|<em>) markup as well as clickable anchors.
I know this would be easy to do with a ColdFusion <cfmail> tag by setting the "type" parameter to "HTML". My question is does this generate proper multi-part mine type e-mails (like I REALLY know what that means). But I think that is what I am trying to ask about. Do HTML messages sent by the ColdFusion mail tag contain a proper "text only" segment? Are they supposed to? Is this a non-issue that I don't need to worry my pretty little head about?
Pointers to the proper standards that I should understand would be nice. Links to information on how ColdFusion fits into the standards are even better. Correcting my understanding of ColdFusion and e-mail in "... for Dummies" language best yet.
TIA
