Sending a link thru CFMAIL

[janette]

I have an application that needs to send email when a file is updated. I want to send the link of the file as part of the body, when I get the email, and trying to open the link, this is the address the link address shows.

Open the 6-0000000052FC3063C2A4D211A11E00105A65571F0700613A6A6A3F09D311
8F5C00508B2C24FE000000BE0DDA0000E79883AEA37FD411A58C00508BAC
5F4B0000000EEDB40000

instead of <a href=&quot;file/test.doc&quot;>Test.doc</a>

The code I am using is below:

Please try the following:

Open the 6-0000000052FC3063C2A4D211A11E00105A65571F0700613A6A6A3F09D311
8F5C00508B2C24FE000000BE0DDA0000E79883AEA37FD411A58C00508BAC
5F4B0000000EEDB40000

<CFIF ISdefined(form.submit)>

<cfmail to=&quot;jsalazar@nuera.com&quot;
from=&quot;mclay@nuera.com&quot;
subject=&quot;Library Update&quot;
type=&quot;HTML&quot;>
<table>
<tr><td><font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,verdana&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;>
#ParagraphFormat(comments)#</font></td></tr>
</table>
<a href=&quot;file/test.cfm&quot;>test.cfm</a>
</cfmail>


</cfif>

Any ideas what am I doing wrong??

Thanks,

Janette

That's really unusual but one problem I see is that your link isn't a fully qualified url. I don't do any work the html formatted messages but I think you'll need something like <a href=&quot;

http://servername.com/file/test.cfm&quot;

instead of just &quot;file/test.cfm&quot;. That doesn't explain why you have a long series of numbers but I would fix this first and see if the other goes away. It's possible that the e-mail client doesn't like the relative link and is doing something strange with the link.

Hope this helps,
