Question

CFMailParam with File in Database

Hi, all.  I would like to use CFMail to send an attachment using CF8.  The attachment is a BLOB in Oracle.  I will know the file name and MIME type for the file.  How do I attach it?  I am unable to write to the file system so I can't do that first.  The utility can email an individual as well as a batch of receipients, and in both cases the same attachments will go to all recipients.  Any ideas?  Thanks!

CF8, or CF8.0.1?  The content attribute of <cfmailparam> - which is what you want - was added to CF in 8.0.1.  Docs here:

I've never used it, but that'll be how you want to handle it.

I think we're just on 8.0 but this is what I need so I'll see if we can get an upgrade.  Thanks so much for the tip!  I didn't even think of looking in the CF9 docs.
