You mean you create a textual email template for each new mailing which includes some raw CFML for the mail-merge fields? That seems a pretty good case for using Evaluate() to me. Unless it's giving you bad performance problems - if so, I guess you would be forced to restructure your system so that your email template is no longer "data", but a compiled CFML template.
