I just did that last week. I was temporarily putting the #textbody#
variable in <pre> tag, but this string works better for what I was doing
#ReplaceNoCase("#textbody#", Chr(13), "<br>", "ALL")#
but I still haven't figured out how to filter out any unwanted tags that
could easily cause damage - just haven't got to it yet. Like if some guy
puts <cfdirectory>, <cffile>, or even <cfmail> to turn my cfserver into a
spam gateway or something. I'm sure there's a simple function for it, but
if anyone knows of a good method for allowing only certain tags to display,
I would appreciate any pointers.
