You can also treat the entire file as a "list" that is delimited by
carriage returns/line feeds:
Untested code:
<cfoutput>
<cfloop list="#file#" index="thisLine" delimiters="#chr(13)##chr(10)#">
<cfif findNoCase("To:", thisLine)>
<p>#thisLine#</p>
</cfif>
</cfloop>
<cfoutput>

Try this:
<cfset l_text = "from: me
to: you
msg: Hello there
to:me
" />
<cfset l_index = REFindNoCase("to:.*?(?=[\r]?\n)",l_text,1,true) />
<cfset l_pos = l_index.pos[1] />
<cfset l_len = l_index.len[1] />
<cfset l_to = Mid(l_text,l_pos,l_len) />
<cfdump var="#l_to#" />
