I have found that dumping all of an e-mail message into a variable works
prefect.
<!--- Set constants for Carriage Return, Line Feed and Horizontal Tab
(ASCII) --->
<cfset cr = Chr(10)>
<cfset lf = Chr(13)>
<cfset tab = Chr(11)>
<cfset messageBody = "Dear #form.cust_firstname#:" & cr & lf &
"Thank you for your business. We are reviewing your
order, " &
"and you will be notified when it is shipped." & cr
& lf &
"Here is what you ordered:" & cr & lf &
"ITEM:" & tab & "QTY:" & "PRICE" & cr>
<cfloop query="itemsQry">
<cfset messageBody = messasgeBody & itemsQry.item & tab &
itemsQry.qty & tab &
itemsQry.price & tab & cr>
</cfloop>
<cfset messageBody = messageBody & lf &
"If you have any questions, please e-mail
[EMAIL PROTECTED]" & cr & lf &
"Sincerely," & cr &
"Customer Service">
<cfmail to="#form.email#" from="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" subject="Order
Confirmation">
#messageBody#
</cfmail>
This makes for a perfectly formatted e-mail everytime.

Subject: cfmail preformatting
I have a problem formatting the contents within the body of cfmail.
When I try and output data using cfif statements it sometime leaves line
breaks in the outputted email.
Heres the code:
<cfif IsDefined ("form.email")>
<cfmail to=#Form.email#
from="me"
subject="Your order is being processed">Dear #form.name#
Thank you for ordering from Us.
You ordered:
<cfif IsDefined ("form.tshirt") AND form.tshirt IS "9_11wel"><cfif IsDefined
("form.tshirt_amount") AND tshirt_amount IS NOT "0">#tshirt_amount#</cfif>
9-11 year old's Welsh tshirt(s)</cfif>
<cfif IsDefined ("form.cap") AND form.cap IS NOT ""><cfif IsDefined
("form.cap_amount") AND form.cap_amount IS NOT "0">#cap_amount#</cfif>
cap(s)</cfif>
<cfif IsDefined ("form.mug") AND form.mug IS NOT "0">#mug# mug(s)</cfif>
<cfif IsDefined ("form.pen") AND form.pen IS NOT "0">#pen# pen(s)</cfif>
</cfmail>
</cfif>
So if someone selected just a cap and pen it would output for example:
You ordered:
1 cap(s)
2 pens(s)
There is a blank line between the two orders which I do not want. (I want
the pen order to be on the next line)
When I use type="html" and format it that way it works fine, but I need to
send the email in plain text format.
Any ideas please?
TIA
