# Customizing Email for Multiple Recipients

In the following example, a query ("GetCustomers") is run to retrieve the contact information for a list of customers. This query is then used to send an email to each customer asking them to verify that their contact information is still valid:

    <CFMAIL QUERY="GetCustomers"
        FROM="service@allaire.com"
        TO="#EMail#"
        SUBJECT="Contact Info Verification">

    Dear #FirstName# -

    We'd like to verify that our customer
    database has the most up-to-date contact
    information for your firm. Our current
    information is as follows:

    Company Name: #Company#
    Contact: #FirstName# #LastName#

    Address:
        #Address1#
        #Address2#
        #City#, #State# #Zip#

    Phone: #Phone#
    Fax: #Fax#
    Home Page: #HomePageURL#

    Please let us know if any of the above
    information has changed, or if we need to
    get in touch with someone else in your
    organization regarding this request.

    Thanks,
    Allaire Customer Service
    service@allaire.com

    </CFMAIL>

Note that in the TO attribute of CFMAIL, the #Email# query column causes one message to be sent to the address listed in each row of the query. Also note the use of the other query columns (FirstName, LastName, etc.) within the CFMAIL section to customize the contents of the message for each recipient.

## Attaching a MIME file

You use the CFMAILPARAM tag to attach a file or add a header to a mail message. In the following example, a MIME-encoded file is sent along with an email message:

    <CFMAIL FROM="abeecho@allaire.com"
        TO="bobm@supercomputer.com"
        SUBJECT="File you requested"
    >

    Dear Bob,

    Here is a copy of the file you requested.

    Regards,
    A. Beech

    <CFMAILPARAM FILE="c:\photos\asdl_photo.jpg">

    </CFMAIL>
