In building a project for work I needed to add potentially multiple attachments to an email. Fortunately, CFMail has a way to add header and additional information.
<cfmail to="somebody@domain.com"
from = "yourstruly@domain.com"
subject="something"
server="yourmailserver">
<p>Here are your attachments.</p>
<cfmailparam file="c://yourpath/filename.ext">
</cfmail>
In coldfusion 8+ you can specify whether the file is an attacment or is displayed inline in the message with disposition=”inline” or “attchment”. You can also give the file a name with contentID=”image1″.
If you need to add cc’s or other head information you use Name instead of File for the cfmail param. ie name=”cc” value=”bob@hisdomain.com”
You can pass the values from queries to make the file-name or name-values dynamic. You must use cfloop query=”queryname” rather than cfoutput query=”queryname”. You can use query references like #queryname.fieldname# if there is only 1 value. If you try to use cfoutput query=queryname you will get an odd message telling you that you can not use nested cfoutput.
