It looks like this has been addressed in ColdFusion 8.0.1; from the release
notes: The cfmail and cfmailparam tags now have a remove attribute that tells
ColdFusion to
remove any attachments after successful mail delivery.
Complete release notes:
How about keep a list of email attachments that need to be deleted. This could
be in application or server scope. After an email is spooled up, add the
attachement to the list or array. Have a scheduled task look through your spool
folder every so often and if the attachment isn't in any of the

Does anybody know how attachments work in CF 8?
Same as in 7.
Has anyone heard of future plans by Adobe to allow attached files to be
automatically deleted after the spool file has been processed. Maybe
something similar to the cfcontent tag?

Nathan,
Thanks a lot for the references. They both look very promising for our
needs. Our applications don't send that many emails, but I knew I wasn't

email, at best, and at worst, the email fails altogether.

Without having tried it, the first thing that springs to mind is to turn
off mail spooling.
In theory, attaching files should not be that much of a bother. I think
you have to add a header specifying filename, MIME header, etc., and you
have to add the file as a base-64 encoded block at the

Adobe did this to speed up mass e-mailings that all use a common set of
attachments--which is common when doing bulk mailings. Obviously in this
case there's considerably less disk space used and does speed things up.
However, when you're trying to send dynamically generated content it's
