Assuming your email message is _not_ in the database, just use
<cfsavecontent> and appropriately nested <cfoutput>.
<cfsavecontent variable="emailContent">
<cfoutput>
<p>Dear #customer#:</p>
<p>Pay your $(&*ing bill already.</p>
</cfoutput>
</cfsavecontent>

Either:
1. Have a separate file with just the content of the email, including
the variables you want replaced, and include it in your cfmail like
this:
<cfmail ...>
<cfinclude template="myemailtemplate.cfm" />
</cfmail>
or:
2. If your template text is in a database, you could generate a temp
file on the fly with the template text in it, then include that file
as above. I'm not sure what the performance implications of this would
be, but you'd have to weigh that against how often the process is
called. Alternatively, generate the appropriate flat file whenever the
template is updated.
But I've also used Dominic's method of replaceing a [variable] token
in the template using Replace().
