Hi Ian,

Cfmail isn't a mail client.  It purely sends whatever you want it to send.

To acheive what I think you are trying to acheive, prepare the content of
your email using a text editor (such as fckeditor) where you can format the
text with fonts, etc, then have cfmail send that content.  (It's quite a
nice way of doing a newsletter application as I have here, or whatever else
you want to send.)

Fckeditor will provide you with htmp coded content, so pick the type =
"html" opting in the cfmail params.

For the record, I've also used the replace function to personalise the
content.  eg. replace(myContent, "[firstName]", "#mytable.firstname#",
"All")

Hope this helps,
Jenny

That's what I thought, but then the documentation for my mail client
threw me for a loop with this passage:

"This font change is only in effect while you read the item. If you
close the item and re-open it, the font returns to the Windows system
default font or the *font that the sender composed* the item in."

As you may note, I can not change my client to show messages in a
mono-space font without overriding my entire Windows system default.  I
am not impressed with this organizations choice of a mail client.
