RE: emailing a cfchart?
Actually in a way you can. Generate the charts as files, then use cfmailparam to include the files. Create a variable that holds the fileinformation: cfset LocationAndFileName = getTempFile(getTempDirectory()) .png / Generate your chart as a variable and then save it: cfchart format=png name=chartName ... .../cfchart cfset fileWrite(#LocationAndFileName#, chartName) / The cfmailparam code looks like this: cfmailparam contentID=makeAnID file=#LocationAndFileName# disposition=inline / Then in your html code for the email have: img src=cid:makeAnID / It will include it inline.

Re: emailing a cfchart?
I haven't had a chance to check this, but does CF10 no longer provide the ability to generate static images for charts? It looks like everything is canvas or Flash-based, which is going to be problematic for emailing or using in a PDF--both of which I use. I don't know, honestly, but I suspect you could capture the output generated by either of those, using CFHTTP for example.

Re: emailing a cfchart?
CF10's charting support has both the old way and the new hot way, so you can still do server side charting.

Re: emailing a cfchart?
Is it possible to have cfchart code (format=png or jpg) within a cfmail tag and have the graphic actually show up in the email? I can't seem to manage it... Not directly, by default, because what CFCHART generates is a time-limited URL to a servlet that produces the image, rather than an actual image file. You can use the NAME attribute of CFCHART to generate a CF variable that contains the image, store that to a file, then serve that instead.
