CFMAIL Attachments on the fly (not from a file)

2005-08-10 Thread Jeff Gombala
Say you create a PDF with either cfdocument or ActivePDF and then say you want to attach that PDF to an email without saving the PDF to disk. I have been trying to accomplish this to no avail. I can't imagine that this isn't a function of CFMX or wasn't included in the CFMX 7 update. I can

Looks like our mails are crossing in the ether I know what I'm suggesting isn't elegant but AFAIK, with CFMX and above that is just *how it is*. Creating an rfc mail and then sending it to the SMTP server directly is possible I guess but you will need a bit of work to do that... Paul

I thought a mail attachment *HAD* to come from a file in a directory on the server. I usually drop it in a temp directory, then clean it up after cfmail runs. Will ~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer

If you're going to use the CFMAIL tag, you have to write attachments to disk. There is no way around it, and I've tried MANY different ways to get around it. In the end, we had to end up using a hand rolled Java-based mail proxy service. Bye bye CFMAIL. Let me reiterate your astonishment at

if you want to add data inline no need to write to disk. I know this is possible with images and swfs even I think, you know, for HTML email. I don't know if you can put a PDF inline though. DK On 8/10/05, Robertson-Ravo, Neil (RX) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: CFMail is just using JavaMail AFAIK.
