RE: What do you use to send out HTML NEWSLETTERS from your site
You want to use gammadyne mailer. It is the hands down best mail software I've ever used. The author wants a miniscule $100 for the license, and you'll get to send out TONS of email based on addresses in your database. It does all kinds of stuff. Really awesome software! A+++ Beats anything I've seen before. Don't even think about using CFMAIL its a joke. http://www.gammadyne.com/mmail.htm I wrote a custom tag that interfaces to gammadyne over the command line via CFEXECUTE and it starts the gammadyne process running in a non blocking mode from CF. You can use gammadyne's GUI interface too. Hope this helps.

RE: HTML Newsletters again!
I have the same problem, but only with some clients. Could it be the settings in their email application. The strange part is that some of the client having the problem had a fresh Outlook Express or Outlook installation and didn't change any of the settings, and some other in the same situation are receiving the message correctly. One of the client had the problem for a couple of months, and all of the sudden he started to receive the emails correctly. I am very puzzled by this ?

RE: HTML Newsletters again!
Just spotted this thread... my main project at the moment is a web-based newsletter system, where you can add subscribers and do email broadcasts of the newsletter, along with just hitting the website and seeing the newsletter. One thing I started doing with my broadcasts - to generate the 'guts' of the HTML email - is to do a CFHTTP call to my display code, passing in the appropriate variables for the newsletter/issue/other settings - and then using the FileContent from THAT in the body of the HTML. I do massage it a little bit (a bit of custom stuff), but I don't really mess with the raw structure of it.

Thanks to those that responded. I actually found an easier way than using CFHTTP, Howie. Using Tom's suggestion of using in the body of CFMAIL.

Re: HTML Newsletters
That's not a problem. Have you tried it? You can't use a query attribute of tag if you do it that way, but you can use a and send one at a time. It's actually just as fast. I always use a to include the coldfusion page as the body. tom "Nick Texidor" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > I¹m trying to send an HTML newsletter via the CFMAIL tag but am having a few > problems. > > If I simply enter all the HTML code in the tag, it works ok.

HTML Newsletters
I¹m trying to send an HTML newsletter via the CFMAIL tag but am having a few problems. If I simply enter all the HTML code in the tag, it works ok. But I¹d like to use an existing CF page, so that all the Queries run and then send the resulting content. Can this be done, or would I need to embed all the HTML code from the template into the CFMail tag. Should I maybe use CFHTTP to run that newsletter.cfm page to allow all the queries to process, and then send the resulting output??
