One of the issues I noticed as part of this work is that if you send a mail with cfmail to a gmail account that only has a cfmailpart text/plain gmail won’t render it.

If you send both, it works fine.

Plain
Strong HTML

So, if you’re sending plain only, don’t put it in a cfmailpart. Probably shouldn’t have been in the first place, but, issue now solved.

Got an email today from an old colleague wishing me Merry Christmas, nothing out the ordinary there, but, when I looked at the details in gmail the email address I saw was “first.lastname@gmail.com” with a little note “(Yes, this is you)” by the side of it.

When I clicked on the find out more link I learnt that gmail ignores dots (.) in usernames. So, when all those people have asked “all one word?” on me giving out my email I can now say no, first.last or firstlast.

Mmm, geek.
