Multi-Part Alternative Mail - NOT A CFX! NOT ENCRYPTED! description
CF_MPAMAIL - Non-Encrypted CF-source-ONLY workaround to send Multipart/Alternative Emails by Herbert L. Riede Key benefits: - Can be used by those who cannot install CFX tags - Teaches by example some basic Email Formatting Main audience: - Email Advertisers Multipart/Alternative is the format that allows you to send text & HTML versions in one email, and the recipient's reader selects the appropriate version to display. If it is a very old non-compliant reader, the text appears first. Tested with AOL, HotMail, Yahoo, Everyone.net, OutLook 2000 (and Express). Remember with HTML mail - IMG SRC's should refer to an absolute, web-based URL. All links must be absolute. Javascript should never be used in HTML mail - many organizations block mail with script and others have mail programs that throw warnings/do not execute Javascript (Outlook 2000). Some web-based email readers block FORMs from HTML mail (Everyone.net). Always have your sending server set up with a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN), as some companies, including AOL, block mail coming from unnamed servers (even though their servers accept the mail). This is also known as a "Reverse DNS Entry". Version 1.1 - Released April 19, 2002 - Improved compatibility across readers - Added better Reply-To support - Added "Errors-To" address support - Added MAXROWS - Added STARTROW - Added PORT - Added MAILERID - If missing [[HTMLVER]] seperator, tries to detect email's state and sends as single-part email. If email contains <HTML> then sends as TYPE="HTML", otherwise as Text. Version 1.0 - Released April 23, 2001 - Initial Release To install CF_MPAMAIL: Copy MPAMAIL.CFM to your CustomTags directory. This directory is typically C:\CFUSION\CustomTags\ where C:\ is the drive where you installed ColdFusion Server If you do not have access to this directory place the MPAMAIL.CFM file in every directory you wish to use it in.
