I haven't found an easy way to do this in ColdFusion. In ASP, there is a
CDO object that you can use that will do it automatically. You can
instantiate a CDONTS object with a <CFOBJECT> tag and then use all of the
built-in methods of CDO. Info on CDO is at the Microsoft site.
Another method involves a thorough understanding of mail headers. In
CFMAIL, you can create your own headers and create multipart emails. The
problem with images is that you would have to create the email and then
paste the binary content of the attachment into the CF code of the email.
It's very messy, but I do it all the time. You can create the message with
Outlook Express, send it to yourself, then look at the source code of the
message -- you'll see what I'm talking about.
