Is there any way to safely delete files that were attached using a <cfmailparam> tag to an email that was generated with the <cfmail> tag? If you delete the attached file too soon, then the file doesn't get attached to the email, at best, and at worst, the email fails altogether.
<cfmail to="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" to="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" subject="See Attachment"> <cfmailparam file="#theFullFilePath#"> See attached file, #GetFileFromPath(theFullFilePath)# </cfmail> <cffile action="delete" file="#theFullFilePath#"> I know for a fact that this worked just fine in CF 5, because the contents of the attached file would be included as a base64 string in the .mail file that was written to the spool. In the MX versions of CF, only path of the attached file is put in the .mail file, meaning the attached file had to stick around until the .mail file in the spool could be processed. It seems like a significant feature digression, but I have found zero documentation on this from Adobe. It is quite a hindrance if you are attaching (gasp) dynamically generated files to emails to create an entire separate process to manually clean up the files from the file system. Does anybody know how attachments work in CF 8? I haven't tried it yet, and I would be curious if it works the same as CF 7. Has anyone heard of future plans by Adobe to allow attached files to be automatically deleted after the spool file has been processed. Maybe something similar to the <cfcontent> tag? <cfmailparam file="#theFullFilePath#" delete="yes"> And finally, has anyone ever tried to somehow force the contents of the file into the body of the email so it is indeed written to the spool file? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Get involved in the latest ColdFusion discussions, product development sharing, and articles on the Adobe Labs wiki. http://labs/adobe.com/wiki/index.php/ColdFusion_8 Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:292090 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
