Ummm.....the email won't do <cfform> either like you suggested. I think he
copied the page that sends the mail, including the cfmail tags. So really
what is being sent is starting at the <form> tags.

Hey coldfusion.developer, 

Answer this - are you trying to send your test message while looking at it
in the preview pane? Make sure you double click the email and open it up,
from there you should be able to send the form.

Good Luck!

That form has to work on the server.  I think what you need to do is have a
basic form with the questions on it with a form tag as follows:

<cfform action="http://yoursite/directorystructure/sendmail.cfm";
method="POST" enablecab="no">

That way when submit is hit outlook will call on the cf server process the
form and send out the results.  I do this all the time on little surveys and
have never had a problem.  Your problem is that outlook has no Idea what
<cfmail> is and does not process it.

If you have any questions contact me off list.

Hello,

No one seems to be able to answer this one ...

Sending an HTML e-mail using cfmail ...
In the HTML E-mail is a basic form ...
When I hit submit from within Outlook, the form won't
process.

Why?

CODE:

  <CFMAIL to="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
from="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" subject="HTML FORM E- MAIL" type="HTML">
<form action="http://www.domainname.com/proccess.cfm";
method="post">
