Or do not use CF mail because it is so terrible. Get the free, at least for a year, or purchase IMS mail poster, It has all of the tools that CFMAIL is lacking and tags for CF for it.
I use it with the fusebox cfcontent tag to create the body. (See how I pulled in back OT). Look at this code.
<cf_bodycontent name="emailbody"> <cfoutput>
<BODY bgcolor="white" topmargin="0" bottommargin="0"> <blockquote> Dear Administrator,<br> <p>A new user, #checkforuser.Title# #checkforuser.FirstName# #checkforuser.LastName#, has requested an account. </p> <blockquote> #checkforuser.Address1#<br> #checkforuser.City#, #checkforuser.State# #checkforuser.Zip#<br> #checkforuser.Phone#<br> #checkforuser.Email#<br> </blockquote> <hr> -- Application Manager<br> </blockquote> </body>
</cfoutput> </cf_bodycontent>
<cfx_iMSMail priority="0" smtpto="#request.admin_email_address#" header_to="#request.admin_email_address#" smtpfrom="#request.admin_email_address#" header_from="#request.admin_email_address#" header_subject="New User" html="#request.emailbody#">
