I don't understand what you mean by "mixing XML into it". That is, what "XML" would you "mix" into the email? How would the client edit the XML you send them? ------------- If the client supports HTML and I would neatly format everything like for example
<p> First name: <firstName>Taco</firstName><br/> Last name: <lastName>Fleur</lastName><br/> etc.... </p> And the client would hit reply, and lets say correct his last name and send it back, I could then parse this.. That's if this crazy lunatic idea of mine would even come close to working ;-)) -------------- Regarding creating a HTML form.... But - if you rely on the client to just email you back and you are trying to parse off what they have sent you - how can you be sure you can even read it or they will fill in mandatory information, etc. etc. etc. I would have said that data validation and error checking would be even more of a problem if you get them to reply to the email. I realise you may have other contraints, but even a form using <CFFORM> (*gag*) would be better than trying to parse returned emails (or worse - rely on human fingers to type right and human eyes to read right). -------------- I agree and have pointed out the BUTS, but decissions have been made and I have to live with that if you know what I mean? They are quite happy with just going through the emails manually and enter the changes in the db. A form is out the question, not because I don't like it, simply because it has been voted against. I thought some XML in the email might do the trick, not exactly sure how, just guessing at the moment....
