Hi all,
I'm attempting to put together a message system where a user can create an email/message and format it (fonts, colors, font styles, etc.). Am I correct to assume that a WYSIWYG editor (much like the one I'm using to type this discussion post) that plays well with CF is what I need? If so, upon submission, I would like the formatted version of the message to be saved so I can display it on a Web page, but I would also like to take the message and place it in a template so it can be emailed.
Can anyone point me in a direction to get started? It would also be nice to be able to attach documents to the message, if possible.
Thanks for the help!

CKEditor and TinyMCE are two popular open source WYSIWYG editors, ColdFusion 8+ also includes FCKeditor (the predecessor to CKEditor) which you can invoke via the cftextarea tag using richtext="yes".

Peter answered the part about text editors. You can use <cfmailparam> to attach files to email.
