Here's what we finally ended up doing.
The owners of the pages that need to have the "send to a friend" on decided
to upload both the html pages and a content only text file to the server.
The only difference in the name is the extension (html vs txt)
If the user wants to send HTML, I use the CF_HTMLMail tag from the gallery
with CFHTTP. I grab the page via CFHTTP then use the CF_HTMLMail tag to
send it with proper headers, etc. If the user selects Text, I grab the .txt
page via CFHTTP and simply us CFMAIL to send it then. Seems to work fine.
