How to add HTML code to format in CFMAIL

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.

Just use type="html". You can check the docs for full details.

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

one thing to think about when sending HTML code via CFMAIL is that you will need to use inline styling rather than referencing a CSS file reason being is MS Outlook alot of times does not like CSS files especially if your email gets forwarded, hence your HTML layout can get messed up so to use inline styling with your HTML is a good standard to use that way if your HTML email gets forwarded it looks consistent.

EX:
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width:100%; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<tr>
<td></td>
</tr>
</table>

If this is for business use and not a spam bot.. be sure to override the default CF mail header...

<cfsilent>
<cfmailparam name="X-MimeOLE" value="Produced By Microsoft Exchange V6.5.7226.0">
<cfmailparam name="X-MS-Has-Attach" value="yes">
<cfmailparam name="X-MS-TNEF-Correlator" value="">
<cfmailparam name="Content-class" value="urn">
<cfmailparam name="content-classes" value="message">
<!---- if you have attachments add them in too---->
<cfif len(arguments.messagebean.getAttachment_1())>
<cfmailparam file="#attachment_local_file_1#">
</cfif>

</cfsilent>

Many mail services bounce CF generated mail's now.
good luck
