    Adomacro,

    Disregard my comment about cfmail. That would only apply to mail created by the ColdFusion server.

    To instruct the mail client to add spaces try adding %0A within your hyperlink anywhere you want a newline.

    See attached HTML sample.

    use coldfusion and html tags to format your variable. Bear in mind that different email clients will render it differently.

    Assuming the body of your email contains html markup you also need to set the type attribute of the cfmail tag to "html". If this does not help you please post your code.

    danielmroberts started out the same way I would have with cfsavecontent. My way would be to save all the page content as a variable. Then you could output that that variable on either a web page or in the mail body.

    Not sure if you can include the content of an html page as the content for the email client since it is html. If you want to have ColdFusion there are more capabilities but other things to worry about as well.

    What you can do is include content on the email link as I show below.
