That's great info, Bob. Thanks. The CF docs for the new CFMAILPARAM tag didn't indicate this possibility. Laurie, if this works for you, please let us all know.

You need to create your own boundaries within the email to create different versions. Below is an email that I found in a list archive, which describes how to do this. Let us know if it works for you. ----- begin attachment ----- One more experienced than I posted this once: I believe his name is Seth Bienek Here's the commented code -- <!--- Create a unique ID for the message boundary. ---> <cfset boundary = CreateUUID()> <!--- Standard CFMAIL.. Note that the TYPE attribute is not set. ---> <cfmail to="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" from="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" subject="test"> <!--- This message is going to be a multipart message. Since an email is really just a really long string of text, we need a unique substring to use as a seperator between the parts. Just to make sure that a seperator doesn't accidentally get typed in, I like to use a UUID - the odds of this exact string accidentally coming through in an email would be extremely rare. The mailparam tag will insert the value of the seperator into the mail header, as well as telling the email client that this message is composed of more than one part. ---> <cfmailparam name="Content-Type" value="multipart/alternative; boundary=""#boundary#"""> <!--- Boundaries are always preceded by "--". Each part of a multi-part message is preceded by a boundary. The boundary value MUST match the value set in the header. ---> --#boundary# <!--- Each section of the email gets it's own mini-header. This header tells the mail client what kind of data follows (plain text, 8 bit, in this case), and is always seperated from the content that follows by one empty line. ---> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit This is the plain text message for the email. <!--- Every section gets a header, and every header begins with the same exact Boundary value. ---> --#boundary# <!--- Modern mail clients that support HTML email will ignore a plain text section of an email if there is also an HTML section. Note the empty line between the secion header and the content that follows it. ---> Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!--- HTML formatted emails should generally be treated the same as html pages. Javascript is not allowed, however. The "title" tags are not supported in most mail readers, but should be used anyway. ---> <html> <head> <title>HTML Message</title> </head> <body> This is the HTML text message for the email. </body> </html> <!--- the final boundary is always followed by two hyphens. This is how the email client knows that the message is complete, and not to expect another section. ---> --#boundary#-- </cfmail> ----- end attachment ----- Good luck, Bob > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On > Behalf Of Guy McDowell > Sent: Monday, 14 January 2002 7:50 a.m. > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [CFTALKTor] Multipart Emailing > > > I haven't come across a way to do this.
