> comments would be great!!!
I forgot to mention that this method can be used to send multiple attachments with
HTML formatted emails as well. Just use the ToBase64 function to convert your binary
file(s) to text, then put each one in it's own section.
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>
