Just spotted this thread... my main project at the moment is a web-based newsletter system, where you can add subscribers and do email broadcasts of the newsletter, along with just hitting the website and seeing the newsletter.
One thing I started doing with my broadcasts - to generate the 'guts' of the HTML email - is to do a CFHTTP call to my display code, passing in the appropriate variables for the newsletter/issue/other settings - and then using the FileContent from THAT in the body of the HTML. I do massage it a little bit (a bit of custom stuff), but I don't really mess with the raw structure of it. It seems to work pretty well. -----Original Message----- From: Nick Texidor [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, December 06, 2001 3:21 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: HTML Newsletters again! That's what I've been doing... But some clients still just display the raw code. I had two emails sent from the same script, different template though, both are set to send HTML, yet one appears as HTML with the images etc, the other as plain text with all the HTML code? If I look at the email headers, one says 'content-type text/html' the other 'content-type text/plain'. Bizarre? Can anyone help to shed some light??
