Try using the Replace function as follows:
<cfset dispField = Replace(fieldname,Chr(10),"<br>","All")>
Then output dispField instead of fieldname.

Subject: Proper formatting of output (capturing carriage returns)?
Hi,
People are entering comments into my forms but the formatting is lost upon
display. Upon the submission of a comment, I am automatically cfMailing
myself the information, and the formatting is intact, like so:
<!---User Comment automatically cfmailed to me using #Form.Comments#--->:
"Top Four Directory Databases
1)OpenDirectory
2)Snap
3)Looksmart
4)Yahoo ! Directory
Normally, you will... "
However, when I try to display it on an html page, this is what I get:
<!---User Comment as viewed in HTML using #ParagraphFormat(Comments)#--->:
"Top Four Directory Databases 1)OpenDirectory 2)Snap 3)Looksmart 4)Yahoo !
Directory Normally, you will... "
I've tried ParagraphFormat, HTMLEditFormat, but to no avail. Does something
need to be done to the text as it is placed in the database? The biggest
issue is capturing <br> - simple carriage returns. If I could get that to
work, it would make a huge difference in article appearance.
Thanks in advance,
Andy
