Actually, if you have CFMX configured to use HTTP status codes, any uncaught errors will return an HTTP 500 status code by default. You can customize your error message using CFTHROW if you like. Keep in mind, however, that if you do this, the browser may suppress the actual error message - in IE 6, there's a setting called "Show friendly HTTP error messages" or something like that. So, rather than return an HTTP status code indicating the error, most people just generate a regular HTTP 200 status code with accompanying HTML to indicate that things didn't work out as desired.
