In regards to components and functions etc., I am looking at creating a
function to be generic to emails. Now should I create code in the cfc to
format the email or do an include for this.
Consider something like this (untested idea):
<cffunction name="sendEmail" ..>
<cfargument name="template" type="string" ..>
...
<!--- put data in request.someStruct --->
<cfsavecontent variable="body">
<cfinclude template="/emails/#arguments.template#.cfm">
</cfsavecontent>
<!--- send email with #body# --->
</cffunction>Now the email formatting is all in a separate set of files and the CFC is "clean". You'd need something more complex for both HTML and plain text email, but the same principle applies.
Hope that helps?
