Here's more details -
I use netmoves to send faxed orders from on our sites. I can send them HTML
formatted faxes as long as the body is completely empty, and the HTML is an
attachment. If I choose HTML as the TYPE in CFMAIL, it is just put in the
body. No good. If I use Outlook Express's Rich Text mode (HTML) to send an
email to the fax server it works exactly how I would like it to.
So the process goes:
1) customer builds order
2) We display the order and then they confirm
3) We dynamically generate emails to be sent back to customer, one for
records, and one that goes to the fax server.
I guess I'll just have to bite the bullet and write a file out to the server
and then send it. Not nearly as elegant as I would like, but I guess it
will do... Unless someone has a better idea!?
If anyone wants to see the system in action, it is www.deliverU.com
It is an operational site, so no test orders please. All orders are
actually faxed through to the restaurants.
TIA,
Bill
