is any way in CFML send cfmail not code but rather a page.cfm... one way is convert page.cfm (and server side code) to code lines and append in cfmail? if yes, how this? or any other way for first?

It's not clear what you're asking. But here's another couple of interpretations:

1) do you mean email the actual code? In which case read the file with <cffile> and output it with htmlCodeFormat() in the mail body.

2) or do you mean send the HTML that one would get if one browsed to http://yourdomain/page.cfm? In which case use <cfhttp> to browse to it and capture the HTML, and then use that as your body.

3) try to explain your requirements again... ;-)

<cfmail ...><cfinclude template="page.cfm"></cfmail>

is it the easiest method...?

well I mean html code of email message be the page.cfm code LIKE put the html&cfm code inside cfmail tags... well?

I do NOT mean insert to email message the html code so recipient of email read the code ....

it will work for this the include or NOT cfml vars needed in #var# not actual cfml from scratch?

I experimented and failed , how handle if page returned in email is yyy.cfm? may be and yyy.html if no cfm vars in?

If I'm understanding your problem correctly, you have to "read" the file by cfhttp, then assigns the content returned to a variable.

Then output this variable in your cfmail tag.

If the CFHTTP is not returning anything, then you need to look at why not.

Or maybe, you can use...

<cfsavecontent variable="theHTML">

<cfinclude template="thePage.cfm">

</cfsavecontent>

and use "theHTML" as a variable in your email.

This might only work depending upon how you're doing things.

Just send it as a string-valued variable, for example

<cfset myString = '<cfset x=1>
<cfset y="two">
<cfdocument format="PDF" name="test">
test pdf
</cfdocument>'>

<cfmail>
<cfoutput>#myString#</cfoutput>
</cfmail>

Not sure if this is what you are asking, but you might try: <cfmail ...><cfinclude template="page.cfm"></cfmail>
