ColdFusion & .NET: Send an Email

ColdFusion: Overlay an Image
I have not had a chance to play around with every piece of functionality with the image functions that were released in ColdFusion 8. Due to a problem yesterday, I had the chance to play around with a couple of them last evening. The problem was I needed all the images on the site to [...]
ColdFusion & .NET: Resizing the Height of an Image
