How to add HTML code to format in CFMAIL

[jennypretty]

Hello,
I am a newbie to CFMAIL and like to ask if there is a way to format the output within CFMAIL. I tried to enter HTML code within CFMAIL and I got the html code from output.

I created a simple comments form for users to submit their comments, and send this result to my email.

Here is my code:

<CFMAIL TO = "test@test.com"
FROM = "test@test.com"
SUBJECT = "test"
>

New suggestions: <br />
<b>Name/b> #name#
<b>Comments/b> #comments#
</CFMAIL>

On the output, I received all html code and when a user enter multiple rows of suggestions, they are not aligned properly in the email.

How do I format the output within cfmail?
How do I get good format for the comments with multiple rows?

Thanks very much.

Jenny.

Hi Jenny,
Sorry if my reply is too late.

First you need to set the CFmail type to HTML

<CFMAIL TO = "test@test.com"
FROM = "test@test.com"
SUBJECT = "test"
type="html"
>

Now inside here you can just write html.

</CFMAIL>

A good point to remember is that not all mail programs handle html emails the same way and especially with Outlook2007 it is much safer to put inline styles such as <p style="Font=blah"></p>

Cheers
