Hmmm, Daniel brought up a good point:
"The whole 'carriage return/linefeed' problem is platform specific. On PCs
it's chr(13)&chr(10), on UNIX it's chr(10) and I think on MACs it's
chr(13)."
And for those of you that are curious as to what we were trying to do:
We were trying to format output for a plain text email:
Used this:
<cfscript>
confDetails = confDetails & DateFormat(codate) & ' - ' & coname & chr(10);
name = "";
if (Trim(getconf.spprefix) is not "")
{name = name & Trim(getconf.spprefix) & ' ';}
name = name & getconf.spfname & getconf.splname & ', ';
if (Trim(getconf.spsuffix) is not "")
{name = name & Trim(getconf.spsuffix) & ', ';}
if (Trim(getconf.sptitle) is not "")
{name = name & Trim(getconf.sptitle) & ', ';}
if (Trim(getconf.spdept) is not "")
{name = name & Trim(getconf.spdept) & ', ';}
if (Trim(getconf.spcompany) is not "")
{name = name & Trim(getconf.spcompany);}
confDetails = confDetails & name & chr(10);
if (getconf.codescr is not "")
{confDetails = confDetails & codescr & chr(10);}
confDetails = confDetails & cotime;
if (getconf.cospecial is not "")
{confDetails = confDetails & ' - ' & cospecial;}
confDetails = confDetails & chr(13) & chr(10); <-----changed the order!
Thanks guys!
</cfscript>
and called variable inside the <CFMAIL> tag....
But now I'm curious as to whether or not this makes a difference if the user
receives the email on a Mac or Unix....

What I mean is that there is an ascii code for a linefeed (10 in decimal or
0A in hex) and one for a carriage return (13 in decimal or 0D in hex) but
there is no such ascii code for a soft linebreak. A soft linebreak is when
a rendering program (a web browser, for example) put text that is too long
to fit on one line onto another line (there is no line break in the text,
iow). Ascii codes date way back to the teletype days when there was a real
difference between a linefeed and a carriage return...

Yes, it does matter. The standard is a carriage return followed by a
linefeed and not the other way around.
