Les,
You could always use file.serverfile attribute to populate the mimeattach
attribute and have your path either hardcoded or set as an application
variable e.g.
<cfmail to="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" from=#name# subject="file test"
type="HTML"
mimeattach="e:\inetpub\hostroot\aaintl.com\MailFiles\#file.serverfile#">
This works nicely, especially if you have nameconflict=unique in your cffile
action.
