Hi Nick,
Are you sure it's not a issue with your mail client? I was able to send £ to myself using CF8 and Outlook as the client from a windows server. However when I tried from Railo ( linux server ) it came like this: Perhaps its a server issue? Also check in CF Admin that: Default CFMail Charset is set to UTF-8 (8bit Unicode ).
