Have you tried this? <cfmail .....>

Afrin, M.D. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 23, 2002 6:33 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Can anybody confirm this CFMAIL whitespace behavior? Howdy -- Today I discovered (I think) a CFMAIL behavior I didn't previously know about and which I can't find documented anywhere. (Unable to check the forums, as that system appears to be down for maintenance at the moment.) Ordinarily, any line breaks that I put in the message body enclosed between CFMAIL and /CFMAIL tags are reproduced as I've coded them. In other words, this code: CFMAIL TO=... FROM=... SUBJECT=... body line 1 body line 2 body line 3 /CFMAIL gives me an e-mail message whose body looks like this: body line 1 body line 2 body line 3 But today I discovered that when I have a CFLOOP inside a CFMAIL message body, the line breaks I specify within the CFLOOP have totally vanished in the final message body that the CF engine generates. For example, this code: CFMAIL TO=... FROM=... SUBJECT=... body line A CFLOOP INDEX="i" FROM=1 TO=3 body line #i# /CFLOOP body line B /CFMAIL produces this message body: body line A body line 1 body line 2 body line 3 body line B instead of the message body I expect to see, namely: body line A body line 1 body line 2 body line 3 body line B Now, I would expect the former output ("...body line 1 body line 2 body line 3...") if I coded the CFLOOP like this: CFLOOP INDEX="i" FROM=1 TO=3 body line #i# /CFLOOP But, with a line break between the #i# and the /CFLOOP, I'd expect to see each "body line whatever-number" on a separate line in the e-mail mesage body. I did find a work-around, however. If I put the intra-CFLOOP line breaks that I want to see in the message body inside of their own CFIF-/CFIF blocks, *then* they show up in the message body. For example, this code: CFMAIL TO=... FROM=... SUBJECT=... body line A CFLOOP INDEX="i" FROM=1 TO=3 body line #i# CFIF TRUE /CFIF /CFLOOP body line B /CFMAIL produces the desired output: body line A body line 1 body line 2 body line 3 body line B (Of course, if I had coded CFIF TRUE /CFIF (all on one line, instead of a line break between TRUE and /CFIF), then, again, there would be no line break after each "body line whatever-number".) FWIW, I should note that both the CFMAIL and CFLOOP statements in the code in which I discovered this behavior are query-based statements. I don't know if I'd see this behavior if I didn't have the QUERY=... parameter in the CFMAIL and/or CFLOOP. So, are CF whitespace rules, which ordinarily are suspended in a CFMAIL body, supposed to take effect again within other CF constructs contained within a CFMAIL body? If so, I think it's kind of confusing behavior (which probably should be added to the documentation). After all, note that CFOUTPUT isn't required within CF constructs contained within CFMAIL bodies in order to get CF to substitute #var# constructs with their values. So if CFOUTPUT rules don't come back into effect within these inner constructs, then why do whitespace rules come back into effect? And does the ENABLECFOUTPUTONLY setting affect this behavior I've noted? -- Larry Afrin Medical University of South Carolina [EMAIL PROTECTED] ______________________________________________________________________ Why Share?
