Dear All,

I have a serious problem with HTML formatting in emails using CFMAIL.


Emails are working perfect in Lotus Domino environment, but it breaks the formatting in the Windows exchange server environment.

I tried the all the permutations and combinations to make it work in the Exchange server environment.
Production server is in the Exchange server environment. Emails are generated from ColdFusion server and received through Domino or Exchange server.

Would appreciate if anyone can find me a permenant solution. I am using CFMAIL to send emails from Coldfusion. Please review the attached file.

Thank you in advance
