Subject: For those of us Desperately in Need of CFMail Help
This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
------=_NextPart_000_00F0_01BFECC7.FB370FC0
Content-Type: text/plain;
charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
I know that this has been bounced around some, but after much searching, =
I have been unable to find any type of solution.=20
I posted the following to the Allaire forums 3 days ago. I have since =
posted a rather scathing response to my own message in the futile hope =
that someone at Allaire might actually look at it. Anyway, for all of =
us that have been trying to make <CFMail> work like a "Real" mail =
client, here is the problem (and a proposed solution). It's very simple =
and could be done in a patch.=20
Posting follows:=20
=20
It is apparent that the designers of the CFMail tag, despite their best =
intentions, did not fully understand the ramifications of simplifying =
certain things in CFMail tag.=20
My personal issue is the fact that MIME Attachments are always sent as =
"base64" encoded. This (to the best of my ability to find...) is =
preventing me and others from sending combined HTML/Plain Text email.=20
Normally in an SMTP client, the HTML and Plain Text are sent BOTH sent =
as "quoted printable" thus allowing a HTML capable mail client able to =
grab the HTML MIME Part, and a text mail client the Plain Text Mail =
Part.=20
CFMail requires that the attachment be loaded from a file, I can deal =
with this. However, why can't I change the Content-Encoding header for =
THAT MIME Part? This in and of itself would probably fix about 15% of =
the screaming need for help with CFMAIL!=20
Does anyone have a solution to this yet? I have looked at a couple of =
third party products, but none of them seems to fix this either. Someone =
please respond (Allaire, is anyone in that new building yet?)!!!=20
Email me and I will gladly discuss this by phone if you can help.=20
Frustatedly yours, Jonathan McGuire=20
