PMFJI, but as noted earlier, the following works with a Query,
no place holder needed:
<CFMAIL QUERY="IPList"
FROM="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
TO="#email#"
SUBJECT="DAILY BUSINESS TIP #FancyDate#">
D A I L Y B U S I N E S S T I P -- Issue Number #IssueNumber#
++++++++++++++#FancyDate#++++++++++++++++
Dear #email#:
Your subscription expires #DateFormat("#expiredate_tip#", "DDDD, MMMM DD,
YYYY")#
blah, blah, blah
best, paul
PS> With complex message bodies, where different parts of the body come
from a database, for example, you need to create the body of the message as
a single string outside of CFMAIL to get around the lack of formatting
inherent if you use the method of having
#Text1#
<CFIF Option2>#Text2#</CFIF>
#Text3#
in the message body.
