RE: Inserting line breaks
Not sure if you ever solved this problem or not but Ive done similar types of apps that involve forcing line breaks into formatted form results from textarea's. Ill grab a snippet or 2. CF_Snippet cfset break="#code#" !--- Replace all line breaks with br / so the message is formatted correctly. --- cfset break=ReplaceNoCase(break, chr(10), "br /", "All") !--- If users has put 5 cariage returns in a row, remove them --- cfset break=ReplaceNoCase(break,"br /" chr(13) "br /" chr(13) "br /" chr(13),"","All") /CF_Snippet There #code# would be the value from the textarea. As Dylan Bromby suggests in this last email message by him, you will want to use virtual wrap "TEXTAREA WRAP="Virtual"". Note that this only adds the appropriate line breaks to a message that is going to be inserted into a database. For email messages you probably wont be able to use this technique but something similar might work. Hopefully this lil' code snippet will get you on the right track.

RE: Inserting line breaks
You could try appending #chr(10)##chr(13)# at the end of each string line inside your CFMAIL tags. ~Simon Simon Horwith Certified ColdFusion Developer Fig Leaf Software 1400 16th St NW, # 220 Washington DC 20036 202.797.6570 (direct line) www.figleaf.com -Original Message- From: Greg Wolfinger [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, December 13, 2000 11:47 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Inserting line breaks Hey guys: I have a form that sends an e-mail to someone and then displays the information that was sent.

RE: Inserting line breaks
Hi. I don't know exactly how this works, but I had a similar need yesterday. I set up the e-mail in the CFM file with breaks where I wanted them. It seems to me that the text between the CFMAIL tags is treated almost as if it is a separate text file, and the format is preserved. If anyone has a more precise answer, I'd love to hear it as well.
