I am using ColdFusion's <cfmail> tag to send email to a list of students getting tutored each week. I need to format the mail using HTML so that I can put it in a <table> so that the text wraps in some mail clients like Pegasus and Netscape.
I would also like it to show my conditional formatting so that I can put certain sentences in red if the tutee hasn't responded to our request to fill out the tutee log for the last two weeks.
BUT that isn't the big problem. The big problem is that the mail that I send right now shows up in SquirrelMail with the HTML tags visible. It turns <b> into <b> in the source so that it shows up to the tutee as <b> and does not bold the text.
In the <cfmail> tag I am specifying Type="html" and this works great for other clients but I get the tags in Squirrel.
I have set up the Options on my machine to view the HTML version first. I don't think it is possible to have every student on campus do this. However even when I have "Show HTML version by default" choosen it still doesn't format as HTML -it is still showing the code as text. When I use Netscape to compose a message with bold, or colored text Squirrel ignores it and just shows plain text. This is what I would like it to do for my ColdFusion mail if it cannot let it render in the browser.
My Question: Is there something that I can do to get Squirrel to not reformat the tags and let the browser do it? Do you have any ideas?
My ColdFusion code follows
<cfmail TO="[EMAIL PROTECTED],#form.email#"
FROM="asc"
SUBJECT="Weekly Tutee Log Due"
TYPE="HTML">
<table width="600" align="center" border="0">
<pre>
Dear #tutee#,
Message text
</pre>
</table>
