Sometimes I send out emails through my system which dynamically generate the content from variables:
example: Last year you gave $#lsnumberformat(lastyear, "9.99")# to support our work. This year we hope you'll give $#lsnumberformat(lastyear*2, "9.99")#. My mailer routine uses evaluate against the string to parse out those values, then it is sent out via cfmail inside a loop. If Evaluate() isn't recommended, is there a better way to do this? Typically this type of mailing might go out to 10 or 12 thousand emails at once.
