Dave, I just tested our IMail listserver, and it received and distributed to the list a multipart/alternative message generated by some ColdFusion code just fine. The important part is the setting of the headers... you must compose the mail with software that allows you to set the content-type and MIME boundary. We do this (like amazon.com does in their newsletters) to send combination HTML-Plain Text e-mails... if the client can read HTML, that shows. If not, only plain text is displayed. If you want me to send you the entire message as it came through the listserv, contact me off-list. Here is the header that went through: Received: from wolf [206.57.37.80] by hksi.net (SMTPD32-6.00) id A682183001BC; Mon, 13 Mar 2000 11:33:54 -0600 MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----MIME-BOUNDARY----" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Date: Mon, 13 Mar 2000 11:35:27 -0600 (Central Standard Time) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Ron Allen wants you to check out ContestClicker...
