How about using CFFile to write the file (could be .txt .htm whatever),
before using <cfmail> as shown by Howie...

> is there a way to attach a cf template to an email with the cfmail tag?

Sure:
<cfmail ... mimeattach="sometemplate.cfm">
blah
</cfmail>

-OR-

<cfmail ...>
<CFMAILPARAM
        FILE="sometemplate.cfm">
blah
</cfmail>

The first method can be used in any version of cf and allows for a single
attachment.  The second method is for cf 4.5 and allows for multiple
attachments.

> and what exactly is a MIME attachment?

MIME means "Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions " and is an encoding
method for mail attachments or special character sets.  Traditionally,
emails can only contain 7-bit characters (although some mail servers support
8-bit).  Using MIME allows for 8-bit binary attachments to be converted into
a 7-bit representation that can be decoded by the recipient.
