There are 2 excel attachment which goes with the email.
Please let me know how to display that
When I am sending the image as attachment and making -BodyAsHTML, I am loosing the email formatting
Naturally with -BodyAsHTML your text would need to be part of the HTML and naturally you'd need to use HTML linebreaks to well ... have linebreaks. Your whole body needs to be HTML.
So for example you'd have something like:
<html><body>
<p>Hi Team,</p>
<p>Please find the attached report. <br/> To view it to X.</p>
<img ... />
</body></html>
Beware that HTML formating is usually limited within mail clients. Not every tag and CSS format will work.

I am having an issue with emails being sent to users from a saved template. In this template there are non-breaking spaces to preserve formatting that is expected, and there is no issue forming the link or sending the email.
However it seems that after going through the mail server when the tags are displayed on their preferred mail service, some users are seeing the hypertext link malformed.
Example,
This is how the raw link looks in the message we send,
Log in to <a href=\"https://website"\>https://website</a> to
And this is how users are reporting they are seeing the link in the message,
https://website to
Instead of,
https://website
I was able to pull the raw message from a test email after sending it to myself and didn't see that there was any issue with the encoding. Has anyone dealt with this before?
I am not sure if it may be better to try and strip out the character and replace it with a regular space? Or if there is another way to handle this?
You could try wrapping the link with a <span> and it might solve the problem... Note that I have replaced the escaped double quote \" with a single quote '
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<label>Wrapped the link with a span</label>
<div>
Log in to <span><a href='https://website'>https://website</a></span> to
</div>
</body>
</html>
In my ColdFusion program I create email (HTML/CSS) for one or many recipients, and place it in a .cfm file. The email is nicely formatted. When I run the saved file as a program, the cfmail tag sends the email along to whomever, and that is all working. However, along the way, my formatting gets lost. I understand that there is no reason for my local CSS to be functioning when the email gets to its target. But it would be nice if I could preserve the formatting I started with.
Does anyone have a suggestion about how I might do this.
If you're not including the attribute type="html" in your cfmail tag, that could be affecting the formatting of your email. Also, within the cfmail tag, embed your style within in addition to your content. For example:
<cfmail from="foo#bar.com" to="foobar#bar.com" subject"test" server="mymailserver" type="html">
<html>
<head>
<style>
.test { color: ##cc0000; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="test">This email is in red</div>
</body>
</html>
</cfmail>
Styling emails can be tricky as it's different across clients - there are whole blog articles devoted to this. For example, styles in the head section get ignored in some clients and recognised in others. Sadly, inline styles seems to be the "best" approach.
There is a good overview on the campaign monitor website of what works if which clients:

Mailchimp have a handy tool which will inline styles for you based on your HTML/CSS:

It's also worth including a plain text version for maximum compatibility. You can do that like this:
<cfmail to="someone#somewhere.xyz"
from="me#here.xyz"
subject="Hello!"
type="html">
<cfmailpart type="text/plain" wraptext="60">
Hello,
This is plain text version
</cfmailpart>
<cfmailpart type="text/html">
<h3>Hello</h3>
<p>This is <b style="color:red;">HTML</b> version</p>
</cfmailpart>
</cfmail>
I want to put some content(rich-text content) into email body using mailto function, but user can not see the HTML entity on content they can only see formatted plain text.
My content contains some HTML entity so i use HTML ENCODING. But when i see my email, it's body it contains all HTML characters as it is. I don't want this because i want user can see only formatted plain text in email body.
For Example: - I have some content like this -
<h1 style="font-size: 17px; line-height: 25px;>Hello</h1> in my content and i put this content into mailto body section into link href.
I want when use click on mailto link and email is open, body contains only formatted HTML header like - Hello, so the user can see only bold header Hello in email content
Can any one please tell me how can i do this?
Thank you..!!!
It would be nice but.. it's not possible. The mail generated from a mailto link is PLAIN/TEXT.

Ok, I have a client with a peculiar request. He wants to receive an (generated by a workflow) email with a hyperlink that will open a pop-up dialog if you click on it. Note: the link within the email should open a popup and not a web page in a browser.
I immediately thought this would be impossible, but after looking around a bit I found out that you can create a workflow variable with tags in them and insert them into the email body.
eg: here
The conclusion that I draw from this is that an email consists of html code that the email client renders. Now I'm wondering if there is a way to make use of a tag no cause a modal dialog to pop up?
I guess the question is what functionality the email client (Microsoft Outlook) supports. I can't figure how to attach some JavaScript or something that will be used by Outlook. Is there perhaps some embedded functionality within Outlook to accomplish this?
That is very easy. Use this sample code and understand how it works with just normal "mailto" function:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<p>
This is an email link:
<a href="mailto:someone#example.com?Subject=Hello%20again">
Send Mail</a>
</p>
<p>
</p>
</body>
</html>
use
window.open('example.html',400,600) ;
in your HTML code..

When sending an HTML e-mail, is there any sense in using the <title> tag? In the PHP Manual, for instance, they use such a tag in their main sample code. However, I see no reason why an e-mail client would use this title and not the Subject from the e-mail. Is there any reason to set this tag?
I've been looking into this myself as I'm writing a PHP mailing list manager script that uses the sendmail() function.
The script allows the admin to create and send multiform emails (both text and html versions).
After much testing I have found that some email servers appear to have issues with the title tag (<title></title>).
I created a test email and sent it to 5 of my email address, my #blueyonder.co.uk email failed to arrive but the 4 others had no problems.
After a process of elimination it turned out that the #blueyonder.co.uk mail servers did not like the title tags in the html part of the email message, when I removed the tag the email arrived no probs.
Very strange!
The only use I would see is that some clients, like Outlook, allow you to view an email in a browser for better rendering. It would then be a plus to have the html title tag set.
(Old question, I know ;) )
My experience is that some mail clients will display the <title> tag in their email preview and some won't. Some clients preview will be "Subject + <title> + Preheader" and some will only be "Subject + preheader", so that creates an inconsistent experience.
Because of that, I found it's better to only use a preheader.
For completion's sake, the "Preheader" is a hidden text form the body that is only used in the preview, for example, something like...
<div style="display: none; max-height: 0px; overflow: hidden;">
Insert hidden preheader text here
</div>
