CFMAIL Formatting

[khurram]

I am having trouble formatting data that is being pass through the CFMAIL tag. The information is coming from a query (storedproc to be exact) and it seems like I can't use <BR> even though I have CFOUTPUT.

Here's the code:

<CFMAIL query=&quot;SystemConfiguration&quot; to=&quot;#EmailAddressTo#&quot; from=&quot;#EmailAddressFrom#&quot;>
Dear #RecipientTo#,
#EmailMessage#
<CFOUTPUT>
#SubOptionDescription#
</CFOUTPUT>
<CFINCLUDE template=&quot;/webcontent/template/common/emailfooter.cfm&quot;>
</CFMAIL>

Any help? Thanks.

Khurram, <CFMAIL> behaves exactly like <CFOUTPUT>, so first of all it is not necessary (it's even a bad idea!) to put <CFOUTPUT> tags inside a <CFMAIL> tag.
Second of all, it's a bad idea to put HTML tags (like <BR>) inside a mail message, since not all email clients accept HTML. A better way would be #Chr(13)# combined with #Chr(10)#.
Hope this helps...

If you want to use HTML code in your message, you need to set type=&quot;html&quot; in the <cfmail> tag.
