ARRRGGHH!!!! This is the kind of thing that makes you tear ALL your hair out! If anybody can figure this one out, I'll treat you at Starbucks in some future life!
Seems simple enough - I'm just ending an plain text email: <cfmail to="somebody.somewhere.com" subject="Just a quick test" from="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" failto="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"> <cfinclude template="textEMAIL_BODY.cfm" /></cfmail> "textEMAIL_BODY.cfm" - for testing right now is: <cfoutput>From #request.someNAME#, I'm testing plain text email!!!</cfoutput> That's *IT*!! Nothing else to screw up. When I send this, in the body of the email I'm getting (minus the quotes): ">From Tom" Now, before you say, well, you've got an extra ">" somewhere you just haven't found yet.. If I change the first letter in "From" to lower case "from", the ">" goes away. In fact, if I change it to ANYTHING else, lower or upper case, the ">" goes away!!!! If I change it BACK to a cap "From", the ">" returns. Now, it's gets even MORE weird! Let's CHANGE "textEMAIL_BODY.cfm" to: <cfoutput> <cfif isDEFINED(req.DATE)>#req.DATE# </cfif>From #request.someNAME#, I'm testing plain text email!!!</cfoutput> Happens AGAIN - it seems that any combination of code that puts ">F" together, results in the ">" displaying in the email! Yes, I can find a way to move the "From" away from a tag - but then it messes with the spacing requested by the client. I've written dozens of richtext email systems for clients, and have never run into anything like this! I'M TOTALLY STUMPED!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:312729 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
