The problem here is that the people that are reading these e-mails, do not have a Internet connection when they are reading. The mail is being collected by a company mailserver and then routed through the network to the different clients. The clients themselves do not have a connection to the Internet, thus can not see the images if they are not inline. That is why I do not use CFMail.

CFMAIL with type=html will do this perfectly. Sort of:) It'll do it perfectly in the sense that your client can generate an html page in your application, with images and whatnot, and store that in a db. Then you output that html into the body of CFMAIL. Storing the images on your server and using fully formed urls to point to them is the easiest way to do this, rather than embedding images. Too much trouble to do in CF for me. What I mean by ''sort of'' above is that CFMAIL stinks as an RFC-compliant mailer without some help. Cfmailparam fixes this. Depending on your CF version, some (but maybe not all) of the statements below should go into your message - cfmx is slightly better with headers. Plug in your own values into these if you use any. Figure reply-to is required. Message-ID is not essential as Imail will put one in for you, but is a good base to cover on general principles. <cfmailparam name="X-Mailer" value="CMProMail"> <cfmailparam name="X-Priority" value="1"> <cfmailparam name="Reply-To" value="#Settings.AdminEmail#"> <cfmailparam name="Message-ID" value="<#CreateUUID()#@#Settings.EmailServer#>"> <cfmailparam name="Content-Type" value="#variables.ContentValue#"> <cfmailparam name="Mime-Version" value="1.0">. -------------------------------------------- Matt Robertson [EMAIL PROTECTED] MSB Designs, Inc. http://mysecretbase.com -------------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Evans Martin Sent: Wednesday, January 29, 2003 11:23 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] Create your own SMTP messages Why not use the CFMail tag? ----- Original Message ----- From: "E.J.
