It doesn't prevent you from having a form to capture user comments,
but it removes the dependence on the user for getting error details
submitted. A dump of the error scope (and perhaps cgi and session) in
a CFMAIL gets you the information you need to troubleshoot most--if
not all--errors.

The error structure contains all the information you'll need to locate
the problem template. Customize the presentation of your server-wide
error handler by checking the cgi.server_name variable, if need be.

Yes.

Didn't say it was graceful :)
