embed image in cfmail

Is there a way to embed an image in a cfmail without using a web reference. Thanks KES

Kurt, I have done it before, in ColdFusion 5, but not in years. The way it worked there was similar to MS Word embedded images. You write the image in Base64 to the mail data and give it an id and then you refer to that id in the HTML markup. Something like: <img src="@header_image" /> I don't remember any of the specific I regret. It was done with some tag called CF_advancedmail I think, if that helps. But, nonetheless, it can be done, I have done it. ......................

CFmail part will do it as follows: <cfmail ****** type="html"> <cfmailparam file="http://0.0.0.0/images/thsimg1.gif" contentid="myimg1" disposition="inline"> <img src="cid:myimg1"> </cfmail> Thanks KES ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

Hi Kurt you could use the following, the macromedia info on the contentID isnt very exstensive: <cfmail type="html" to = "jose.diaz-salcedo@csd.reedexpo.com" from = "bleachedbug@gmail.com" subject = "my test embeded image tutorial"> <cfmailparam file=" http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ancient/romans/images/gladiator_pic.jpg" disposition="inline" contentID="image1"> <cfmailparam file=" http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ancient/romans/images/gladiator_pic.jpg" disposition="inline" contentID="image2"> <cfmailparam file=" http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ancient/romans/images/gladiator_pic.jpg"     disposition="inline" contentID="image3"> There should be an image here from the BBC<br> <img src="cid:image1"><br> <br> <img src="cid:image2"><br> <br> <img src="cid:image3"><br> <br>This is just some duff content after the image heh ;)<br> </cfmail> Thanks Jose Diaz ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

Just a question. Is this also available within CF 6.1? I can't find reference to 'contentID' in the livedocs... Cutter Jose Diaz wrote: ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

I think the file attribute of cfmailparam has to point to a file path rather than a URL to an image file. more like <cfmailparam file="gladiator_pic.jpg" disposition="inline" contentID="image1"> ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more ----- -- Mike T Blog http://www.socialpoints.com/

Look at CFMAILPARAM, especially the CONTENTID attribute of it in CFMX 7. You give it a contentID and use that in your source for your html. Look at http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/wwhelp/wwhimpl/comm on/html/wwhelp.htm?context=ColdFusion_Documentation&file=part_cfm.htm And there's a section entitled "To display a file inline in a mail message" that tells you all about it.

That is excellent, and disheartening. What other undocumented features of CF have I passed over these past several years? I say this because, within the 6.1 livedocs, there is no reference to these attributes to the tag. Only now, after doing a 'find' on 'contentID' within Firefox, do I find reference to this addition through an updater, referenced within a message at the bottom dated Sept of 2004. Is it that hard to add this to the actual 'attributes' documentation within the document?

this functionality was added in the update from 6.0 to 6.1 and was documented http://www.adobe.com/support/coldfusion/releasenotes/mx/mx61_release_notes.html DK ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

I tried this under Bluedragon, but the images showed up with the missing image icon Can anyone else try?
