Re: Custom tag for generating email
CFMail does this already.

Re: Custom tag for generating email
I've got one that allows users to add or delete their email from a database, then, gives you the ability to email the list in bulk. It also give the admin the ability to add and delete email addresses. It checks for dupes and sends notices when folks add or delete their address. The newsletter can be typed in from the browser on the admin page. Comes with Access datasource. Allows admin to view addresses. Email me off list.

RE: Custom tag for generating email
Why not make a database of the users you want them do a cfmail with the message and make the to address the users in the database.

Re: Custom tag for generating email
It would be pretty easy for you to set up a form where you could enter the content of the message and send it to a page that sends out the letter. Then the cfmail call would just look like this: cfmail query="CustomerAddresses" FROM="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" TO="#EmailAddress#" Subject="#form.SubjectLine#" #form.MessageBody# /cfmail Of course, you would want to restrict access to those files...

Re: Custom tag for generating email
Thanks to everyone for your replies. I have acutually done a little on this. Setting up the email to a DB of users has turned out to be easier than I realized. The challenge is that I am also including dynamically-generated content in the email. In order to do this I am doing a table join between a membership table and a content table. In the content table are a bunch of articles and each article has a date property assigned to it. What I am tring to accomplish is to grab the articles for that week in a query and put the info in the email. So, how do I use the Date function to create situation like: cfset todays_date = #Dateformat(Now(), "mm/dd/") cfset endofweek_date #Dateformat(Now +4(), "mm/dd/") Select stuff, from members,content where content_date BETWEEN todays_date and endofweek_date Ideas?
