Awesome, that works. I vaguely recall seeing that <cfif> quirk at some time years ago it was so far back that it didn't even occur to me this time. I did try something a little different and put the message body in before any of the <cfmailparam> tags and that also does the trick, even though it doesn't look quite right. At least it will be a little easier to maintain. Either way, it is gonna need a heck of a comment.
Didn't need the trim, I was already doing that when I set the value of the variable for the content.
Thanks again.
