I think you could do this: cfset userComment = #ReplaceList(userComment,#Chr(10)#,#Chr(10)##Chr(13)#, BR,P)# You wrote Hello everybody, I have a text area in my form for users to add comments.

Re: cfmail and textarea formatting issues
Why are you rendering the results inside the email in a textarea?A standard textarea doesn't have the ability to render HTML. Remove the textarea from the cfmail and it'll work fine. Also, you shouldn't be getting BR and P tags at all because I don't see where you are converting the return chars to those tags... did you leave that part out? Finally, why are you ending the textarea tag with /xtextarea?That shouldn't work at all :) - Rick cf coder wrote: Hello everybody, I have a text area in my form for users to add comments. form name=frm action="" method=post textarea name=userComment/xtextarea input type=submit name=sendEmail value=email /form On form submission I am passing this value in the body of the mail.

Re: cfmail and textarea formatting issues
yes I'm rendering the text in the email in a text area. I have ColdFusion MX installed on the server. What version of CF are you on? [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]
