I've set up an email form (with a captcha) that will submit an email to a 
seller on my website. The "TO" attribute is simply a query variable. But for 
some reason, I keep getting the following error. 

"Attribute validation error for tag CFMAIL.  The value of the attribute TO is 
invalid. The length of the string, 0 character(s), must be greater than or 
equal to 1."

I use a <cfdump> and it alwsys returns a valid email address, so I can't figure 
out why the <cfmail> thinks the TO field is empty.

Below is my code. Thanks in advance. Rick

<cfparam name="URL.ProdID" default="" >

<cfquery  name="getproducts" datasource="DB">
SELECT ProdID, Email
FROM Products P 

JOIN Users U
ON P.UserID = U.UserID

WHERE P.ProdID = <cfqueryparam value="#Val(URL.ProdID)#"  
cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer" maxlength="4">

</cfquery>


<cfset sendEmail = #getproducts.Email#>

<cfdump var="#sendEmail#">
