Cfmail mulitiple attachments?

This isn't working... please advise. I need to attach
mulitiple documents.....
<cfmail to="#t.email#"
subject="Purchase"
from="[email protected]"
password="hdfd"
username="purchase.request"
cc=""
type="html"
server="mail2.corp.org"
mimeattach="d:\coldfusion
applications\pages\onlineforms\purchaserequest\Purchase Order
Request-#session.purchaserequestid#.pdf"
> <cfmailparam file =
"D:\filespload\#session.filename1#" >
</cfmail>

You can use multiple cfmailparam tags inside your cfmail to
attach multiple files. You might try removing the mimeattach
attribute and use cfmailparam for all your attachments.

Cfmail w/attachments issues

Hi there,
I have a basic html form where the user can add attachments.
The action form uses cfmail to send an email to an address with the
form contents as well as the attachment. However, I am having
issues with this part and am at a loss. Do i need to do an upload
first? or mim attachment? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in
advance.
My cfmail code looks like this:
<cfoutput>
<cfmail to="[email protected]"
from="a test person"
subject="Request for yada yada">
Name: #form.name#
Article: #form.text#
<cfmailparam file="#form.file1#"> (If i actually put
in /tmp/test.txt which is a file on the drive i am mapped to, then
the cfmail works and delivers .. but this doesn't help me for other
people and their attachments)
</cfmail>
</cfoutput>
This never goes to the email address.. instead it goes to
undeliverable with this log. (p.s. I use my actual email address
for the 'to')
body: Name: test
body: Article: t3est
body: Files:
/engines/coldfusionmx7/runtime/servers/coldfusion/SERVER-INF/temp/wwwroot-tmp/neotmp40024 .tmp

Renaming attachments on the fly with CFMAIL?

One feature of our app allows our clients to send email to a
specific contact with an attached PDF. This PDF is built from
stitched together files in a previous step, so it has a
dynamically-built filename.
The filename consists of the subject, date, and some other
info. We were adding a hash value to the end of the filename so we
would have a unique value and avoid overwrites, but now it's
setting off spam filters, and people aren't getting the email.
I replaced the hash value with the timestamp, including
milliseconds, which seems to work well enough to keep the file
unique. This is fine for our database, but the boss wants the
receipient to see a "friendly" version of the filename as their
attachment. In other words, I need to strip out that other data
(timestamp) when I send it.
I thought there used to be a way to send attachments where
you have the source file name and the destination file name... but
apparently there isn't now, as far as I can see.
Does anyone know how to do this? It seems like it would be a
common issue. I know I could try to copy the file to the
tempdirectory with a "Friendly" name, then send that as the
attachment and delete it... but that seems excessive.

Hopefully it will help me organise things. I’ve liked having twin drives on my G5. (Though in that case there’s the added advantage of the physical security of holding vital files on two real drives.) And I always intended to partition next time I got a new Mac.

CFMail breaks up attachments filename with non ASCII

Hi CF-Devs out there!
My problem is, that when attaching files via cfmailparam - no
matter if inline or not - and using a filename that contains or a
non 7bit-ASCII character or a simple space, the filename is not
displayed correctly in Outlook nor Thunderbird. I am sure that this
topic has been discussed here earlier but I really don't find any
topic when using the Forum Search function... so please help anyway
:) I am still using CFMX 6.1 :(
My code is the following:
<cfmailparam type="#variables.attachments
.getContentType()#"
file="#variables.attachments.getFilename()#"
disposition="#this.dispositionType(variables.attachments
.isInline())#"
contentID = "#variables.attachments.getCid()#">
When I revise the generated email code then I find the
following:
Content-Type: application/octet-stream
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename*2=nger.csv;
filename*0*=UTF-8''emailempf; filename*1*=%c3%a4
Content-ID: <DEE13419-D022-9396-C8A4DF2AAAA7C4EF>
You can see that the filename (emailempfänger.csv)
breaks up into several pieces which according to
RFC 2231 is a
valid format but obviously is not interpreted correctly by e.g.
Outlook. Or am I missing something else?
I would appreciate your help. Thanks in advance.
Buergermeister

The filename you used does not contain any non 7bit ASCII
character. The problem only occurs if I use characters like
"ä","ö","ü" but even [space] does provoke the error.
The variables hold the following values (you can see them in
the source posted, too):
1) variables.attachments.getContentType() :
application/octet-stream
2) variables.attachments.getFilename() :
[AbsoluteFilePath]/emailempfänger.csv
3) this.dispositionType(variables.attachments.isInline()) :
attachment
4) variables.attachments.getCid():
DEE13419-D022-9396-C8A4DF2AAAA7C4EF
Cheers!

Cfmail attachments not working

So I have a web page that...
1 Generates an excel file.
2 Saves the excel file to my webserver.
3 Sends an email with the excel file attached.
If the user opens the email via desktop outlook the attached
excel file will open and display just fine. If the user opens the
email via web outlook the attachment won't open. I have no idea if
this is a coldfusion problem our an outlook problem. Does anyone
have any idea's what would cause this to happen?
Thanks

It opens fine when I double click it on the server. The
correct tag is
<cfsavecontent variable="mypage">
<html xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"
xmlns:x="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel"
xmlns="
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40">;
<head>
<meta http-equiv=Content-Type
content="application/vnd.ms-excel; charset=windows-1252">
<meta name=ProgId content=Excel.Sheet>
<meta name=Generator content="Microsoft Excel 9">
<link rel=File-List
href="./headcountest_files/filelist.xml">
<link rel=Edit-Time-Data
href="./headcountest_files/editdata.mso">
<link rel=OLE-Object-Data
href="./headcountest_files/oledata.mso">
Then my table that is getting output
</cfsavecontent>
<cfset mypath =
"C:\mypath\Excel\itinerary_#uname#.xls">
<cffile action="write" file="#mypath#"
destination="C:\mypath\Excel" output="#mypage#">
This creates the excel file and saves it to my webserver.
I then do my <cfmail> and attach the file that I just
created. The metatags tell it to create the excel file.

Cfmail sending double attachments.

Hello;
I wrote a cfmail app that allows you to send one attachment. Everything about it works fine. The problem is, it's sending 2 of the uploaded image and I can't figure out why. I'm not going to put in all my error code and so on, I'm just showing my cffile, and then the main part of my cfmail, I believe the problem is in how I'm attaching my file that is to be uploaded from the user.
<cffile action="upload"
                 filefield="attachment_1"
                 destination="c:\websites\187914Kg3\uploads\"
                 nameconflict="Makeunique" accept="#request.AcceptImage#">
<cfmail to="[email protected]"
        cc="[email protected]"
        from="#form.email#"
        subject="Submitted Idea"
        type="html" SpoolEnable="no"
        server="mail.gmail.com"
port="25">
<cfmailparam name="X-Priority" value="1"/>
This is all my email stuff from the forms
<cfsilent>
     <cfif FORM.attachment_1 neq "">
        <cfmailparam file="#attachment_local_file_1#">
     </cfif>
</cfsilent>
<cfmailparam file="#CFFILE.ServerDirectory#/#CFFILE.ServerFile#" remove="true"/>
</cfmail>
and that's the main part of it aside from the form to send, and error control and those things.
Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong here? possibly help me fix my issue?
Thank you.

Thank you! that worked. I was over thinking the process. Using a 2nd tag to delete the image on the server and I didn't need too. did what you said and it works perfect.

How to delete email attachments from server

Hi,
I created an a CF template for sending e-mail which includes
attachments. It has been tested on my dev box and is functioning
fine as the attachment upload to a designated directory on the
server. I would like the attachments to be purged once the e-mail
has been forwarded to the recipent.
In Macromedia's ColdFuision 7MX web application construction
book page 913 "Interacting with Email" there is a CFC that will
delete the file when the user ends their session.
I am not sure how to write this to fit the code I am using.
Here is the eMail form

<html>
<head>
<title>Please enter your message</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="Send_Email.cfm" method="post"

<td width = "500" colspan="2">Please enter your e-mail
message:</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="250">To:</td>
<td width="250"><input type="text" name="to_addr"
value=""></td>

The tutorial only explains how to delete the attachment when
the recipient checks there mail
in the POP server.
Assuming that the sender is in a session would the code be
written to delete the attached file from the directory on
the server one the e-mail is sent.
Can someone explain how to automatically delete email
attachments from a designated directory or provide me with the code
that would handle this after an email is sent with attachment.
Thanks,
Tony

I don't know why your dos code didn't run. It could be
addressing. My limited experience with cfdirectory/cffile/cfexecute
is to type out the complete path at least once.
Good books?
Hard to say, depends on what else you are new at. If you are
new to html, then htmlgoodies.com has good tutorials. So does
webmonkey.com. If you have trouble with sql, I have heard good
things about the SAMS book, Teach Yourself SQL in 10 Minutes by Ben
Forta. I learned javascript by buying the book Teach Yourself
Javascript in 24 Hours. The O'Reilly books are also good. I learned
awk with one of those books.
Glad you liked the fish pics. The camera is specified on most
of the pages. If it says Reefmaster, I used an external strobe. If
it says Sony I either used the camera flash only or natural light.
By the way, that is not a Cold Fusion site. It's strictly html and
javascript.

CFMail Attachment Issue (410 character limit)

My company is in the process of upgrading from CF5 to CFMX7
(v7.0.2). While testing the new version our test environment, I've
discovered an issue (that didn't exist in CF5) regarding email
attachments. I've scoured the internet looking for users who might
have run into this issue and haven't found any.
Here's the problem that shows up when using CFMX7. Emails
that have attached files that have lines of code that are longer
than 410 characters per line have the lines broken apart with a
newline character.
So for example if code in a file originally looked like this,
<font face='courier new' size=-2>
&nbspLIFE  MED  (line
continues out to over 600 chacters)...
</font>
The received file would have code that looked like this,
<font face='courier new' size=-2>
&nbspLIFE  MED  (line
continues out to just 410 chacters, then breaks to a new line)...
bsp; &nbspLIFE
</font>
Notice that the non-breaking space characters starting the
second line have been chopped off.
This causes an issue because the files we are attaching to
the emails are bills (formatted in html) that uses a lot of
non-breaking space ( ) characters for formatting purposes.
Most of the lines of code are greater then 410 characters wide, and
once the the characters start to get broken apart, they
end up displaying in a browser.
Things I've tried that haven't helped.
1) Changing the Default CFMail Charset from UTF-8 to US-ASCII
2) Using the cfmailparam tag instead of the mimeattach
attribute
3) Applied hot fix hf702-65414 (which was for an issue
regarding email spooling)
Does anyone know how I would prevent the line break issue in
CFMX7?
I figured I'd ask around in a few newsgroups before we
started spending money on support from Adobe.
Thanks,
Wayne Barca

If the attached file doesn't have to be interactive, how
making it a PDF?

CFMAIL with zip-attachment

I have a function which creates some xls-files and pack it
into a zip-archive, the created file is named 1234.zip and is saved
at the server. This function works correct.
After that the created file should be send by cfmail but when
I receive the mail the attached file is named
att23423.att or similar. The file itself is correct, I can
open it with winZip but I also need the correct filename for the
attachment.
I run the same function for sending xls- or pdf-files and
this works!
Any Ideas?? I would appreciate any suggestion.
I use CF MX7.02 and here is a snippet of the relevant code:
<cfmail to="#sender#" bcc="#receiver#" from="#sender#"
subject="#subject#" server="#application.smtp_server#"
port="#application.smtp_serverport#" type="HTML">
...<cfmailparam file="#attach_file_name#"
type="application/zip">...
</cfmail>

Hi Guido,
There is not a very complex configuration required for attachments. You have to follow the general configuration steps along with the instructions mentioned at below link -

CFMail Issues since Upgrading to CF10

Ever since upgrading to CF10, we've been having some odd issues with our automated ColdFusion emails. The processes always functioned properly in the past, but lately we've been getting some very out of the ordinary issues which I'll describe further below.
We discover the problem usually from contacts who usually receive these emails on a daily basis with or without attachments. We'll go to the CFMAIL directory for the corresponding server and find a slew of emails stuck in the 'Undelivr' emails. In some cases, we can just move these emails to the Spool folder and they process fine, but in most cases they result in one of the two errors below:
Error 1: In an email which normally does not contain a body and contains an attachment, the follow error is what we found in the logs:
"Error","scheduler-1","01/15/13","14:09:56",,"javax.mail.MessagingException: missing body for message"
javax.mail.MessagingException: missing body for message
                at coldfusion.mail.MailImpl.createMessage(MailImpl.java:696)
                at coldfusion.mail.MailSpooler.deliver(MailSpooler.java:1295)
                at coldfusion.mail.MailSpooler.sendMail(MailSpooler.java:1197)
                at coldfusion.mail.MailSpooler.deliverFast(MailSpooler.java:1657)
                at coldfusion.mail.MailSpooler.run(MailSpooler.java:1567)
                at coldfusion.scheduling.ThreadPool.run(ThreadPool.java:211)
                at coldfusion.scheduling.WorkerThread.run(WorkerThread.java:71)
Placing these emails that have always been sent out this way in the past without an attachment in the spool directory causes it to go right back in the 'Undelivr' folder and resulting in the same error. We ended up having to modify the email file and add random content in the body message, place it back in the spool directory, and it went through. - Mind boggling.
Error 2:
"Error","scheduler-2","02/04/13","09:08:17",,"javax.mail.MessagingException: Exception reading response;   nested exception is:
java.net.SocketException: Connection reset"
Both errors occur randomly and we have not been able to find out what causes them randomly from time to time. All other emails go through fine, but certain emails will never go out and end up in the 'Undelivr' folder.
We are running them on Windows Server 2008 64bit.

Peter, thanks for your suggestions however, the receipients in our email are either customers or internal users; which in any of the email issues we've been having, an invalid email address was not the cause. Also, to note - these are not marketing emails.
Just standard batch notification emails, e.g., order / warehouse notification, daily automated processes, etc. I do wish it were something that simple to resolve these email issues once and for all.
One other possible cause I've been looking at is "TCP/IP Port Exhaustion" - More info here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa560610%28v=bts.10%29.aspx
However, not sure how to exactly prove this to be the cause.

CFMAIL Attached vs. embedded (cfmail, multipart/mixed)

I want to send a mail which has a PDF attachment and an embedded image. When I send them both with cfmailparam (with correct disposition) they arrive in the email as attachments in the body...you don't get the little email paperclip attachment icon.
When I tried using mimeattach for the PDF it did work!...but the image denoted with cfmailparam also came through like that. So I looked the email headers of both and the good one was Content-Type: multipart/mixed; while the bad one was "multipart/related".
So how can I make cfmailparam send it as multipart/mixed? (if that's even the right question...maybe I should stick with mimeattach and do something else?)
Thanks Folks' - Randy

I never found a solution using cfmail. I had to resort to java instead.
I have all of my file information (including content) in a query called qFiles and loop through that in the code below.
<cfscript>
    // config will stay this way
    emailServer = serverAddressHere;

    mimeMsg.setFrom(addrFrom);
    // set the subject of the message
    mimeMsg.setSubject(vSubjectText);

    multipart = createObject("java", "javax.mail.internet.MimeMultipart").init();

Hi ,
I hope the following will help you..., using the UTL_SMTP db package.
DECLARE
c UTL_SMTP.CONNECTION;
PROCEDURE send_header(name IN VARCHAR2, header IN VARCHAR2) AS
BEGIN
UTL_SMTP.WRITE_DATA(c, name || ': ' || header || UTL_TCP.CRLF);
END;
BEGIN
-- Open connection to SMTP gateway
c := UTL_SMTP.OPEN_CONNECTION('smtp.server.acme.com');
UTL_SMTP.HELO(c, 'acme.com');
UTL_SMTP.MAIL(c, '[email protected]');
UTL_SMTP.RCPT(c, '[email protected]');
UTL_SMTP.OPEN_DATA(c);
send_header('From', '"Oracle Admin" ');
send_header('To', '"Bob Smith" ');
send_header('Subject', 'Automated Database Email');
UTL_SMTP.WRITE_DATA(c, utl_tcp.CRLF || 'This is an automated email from the Oracle database.');
UTL_SMTP.WRITE_DATA(c, utl_tcp.CRLF || 'The database is working for you!');
UTL_SMTP.CLOSE_DATA(c);
UTL_SMTP.QUIT(c);
END;

Quicklook downloads attachments to wrong folder

Tried searching for this but came up empty so I want to try and see if others are wondering why Quicklook in Mail downloads the attachment to a folder different from the one I specified as my Downloads folder, in my case, my Desktop Folder.
I receive an email with an attachment. I use Quicklook (be it the button on the header, pressing the spacebar, or using the contextual menu) to view the file at which time Mail first downloads the attachment. However, it always downloads it to the User/Library/Mail Downloads folder instead of the Downloads folder I selected in Preferences.
Does anyone else have this "problem?" If so, is there a setting for this I am not seeing? I hope it can be changed because I habitually use Quicklook now and that Mail Downloads folder can fill up rather quickly without realizing as I download attachments to specific places after the fact, causing double copies on my hard drive. Hope someone can help.

Andew, thanks for the reply, however, I am with "gumsie" on this one. Like gumsie stated, if I save the attachment using the button in the header or contextual menu, and open the file from there, then there is no real problem. However, if I Open or Quicklook the attachment directly in the Message Window, then Mail does save a copy of the attachment to the /Library/Mail Downloads folder no matter if I saved the attachment before or if I have a Downloads folder set in Preferences. This is what I think is an odd bit of behavior from the software.
In the end, I think there is really nothing we can do about this and the best thing for me to do is just download the attachment to my set Downloads folder, and Open/Quicklook it from there in order to avoid multiple copies on my drive (I deal with largish files so cumulatively multiple copies just take up too much space on the drive). It's too bad Apple hasn't addressed this.
Thank you both for your input. At least now I know that A) I'm not alone in this and B) I just have to change my habits.

Previewing attachments

I was previewing attachments, pictures .png files, at least 30 or 40 of them and then all of a sudden I got an error message that
"this file cannot be previewed. try opening the file in the program in which it was created" and now I can't preview even the pictures I previously did.
What happened? What can I do?

Hi,
This issue can be caused by the temporary files, sometimes Outlook may not handle its temporary file folders well, so cleaning out the folder may solve this issue.
We can follow the steps in this link to empty the temp folder:

Hope this can help you.

How can I disable iMessages from archiving messages and attachments?

I noticed while browsing ~/Library\Messages/ that iMessages has been archiving my messages (Archive folder) and saving attachments (in a separate Attachment folder). Under the settings for iMessages on OS X 10.8.2 Mountain Lion, I don't see any options to disable this. The only thing close to that is already unchecked: Save history when conversations are closed.
Any ideas why iMessages is saving all this information? How do I disable it? My concern is that it's going to keep accumulating data overtime. I don't want to keep having to go back in there and delete those two folders constantly.

Hi,
This somewhat date back to the way iChat's Saved Chats were once Stored.
At iChat 5 (in Snow Leopard) you could choose to see the last chat - (when opening an new chat with a person you had chatted with before) or parts of the Last Chat in terms of the Last so many IMs.
Example Pic of iChat 5's Prefs
Since then the management choices of the Save Chats has changed in both iChat 6 and Messages.
Messages stores Chats two ways if they are iMessages.
You can elect to Save them in Messages > Preferences > Messages.
It also store the chat.db and other databases items which includes the Attachment items
The chat.db is the bit that fill in the "history" if you iMessage the same person even if you are not saving the Chat in a formal sense in the App's Preferences.
This is irrespective if your delete the Conversation from the Messages main window.
How big these Databases get obviously depends on your iMessages usage.
Striker's link seems to be about a similar issue on an iPhone (I presume it transfers to other iOS devices) but I am not sure that it is relevant in this situation.
Edit.
I should have been clear that you cannot change the database behaviour.
