Re: WAP and CFM
It's quite easy, actually. Create a new file extension for your WAP files, and then create a MIME type on the web server that associates that file type with the appropriate class. I'm not sure what that is for WAP, but I would guess something like "text/wap". If you are using CF to send both HTML and WAP content, just use a CFHEADER command to do the same thing with WAP content.

If you're serving static files, you'll have to associate the appropriate MIME types with those file extensions; this is done differently on different web servers. For CF files, you simply have to set the appropriate MIME type with CFCONTENT at the top of each file. I wrote a WAP/WML presentation a while back, which describes this stuff in greater detail, and is available here: http://www.figleaf.com/figleafhome/cfug/2000/CFUGSep2000/cfugsep2000.zip In addition, there are plenty of resources available on the web and in bookstores (the Wrox WAP development book specifically covers CF/WAP development, not that there's much to cover there).

It shouldn't be a problem. The logic on the server side with ColdFusion would be the same as for a web (browser) interface to an e-mail account; only the display piece is different.

The reason I wanna do this is so that they dont have to pay for email service. Or is the email service already included as part of their internet service?
