to help exaplin the rethrow concept lets say you are catching database errors. You know sometimesd your database spits back something like information will be truncated. In your catch you handle that error code but other errors codes you do not know how to hadle would then be rethrown to allow a higher error handle to deal with the error.
Incidentally I imagine what is happening is your HTTP times out finally but then your request times out nearly immediately after that (on the cfmail tag) as this point that error is passed up to the application error handle and you get an email that tells you your page timedout and where it timed out at.
