Rick, I have been known to beat a deceased equine from time to time so after reading the entire thread let me enter the fray.
>> "Anyone ever created their own email archive with CF?" ... The rest has >> been an exercise in attempting to tell me that I should be doing something else I've been using CF since it was distributed with Denny's Website and in that time I have not heard or seen anyone create an automated email archive system using CF. One of the reasons, I assume, is that the email portion of the program is not optimally designed for real time applications. It is used only on demand. >> But I am really after an automated setup that creates a storage system >> for original-topic emails, along with the replies I send. I am not saying that you might not be able to create something for your particular needs but CF in general is not particularly suited to be interjected into the MTA process stream where it can capture SMTP transactions. Sort of like using a jewelers screwdriver as a hammer. >> Much like text messaging provides currently. I can follow a text message conversation easily >> Email should work the same way. There are A LOT of things that email should or should not do, but unfortunately since it was never designed with that functionality in mind it does not work that way. >> It's ridiculously complex to try to reassemble an email conversation. This, and other reasons previously stated, are most likely why there are no widely known CF solutions to archiving email in the manner you require/want. There are, however, third party solutions and it is that complexity that contributes to their cost. I believe there was a product called Infusion mail server that was a mail server that utilized CFML as a processing/scripting language that might have suited your need however I don't believe it is available or supported anymore. >> and a solution is offered that doesn't address the original >> question. Well, if you don't know what I'm trying to accomplish I have no need to defend the members of this mailing list but they were in fact trying to offer solutions, something they need not do, which would solve your problem: Archiving email. The fact that you meant only CF solutions and are insulted at other ideas was not apparently clear, at least in my reading, until you embarked on a rant. >> Answer the original, and *only* the original question The answer is: NO.
