Subject: escaping #'s


I have a text area that submits to a message board and sends out an
email to subscribers.  When a user enters a # in the body of the message
it causes an error.

How do you escape # signs?

Here is the code that I tried:
<CFSET BODY= Replace(#Body#,"#","##","ALL")>

Here is the error that I get:
Error Occurred While Processing Request

 Error Diagnostic Information

 Just in time compilation error

 Invalid parser construct found on line 99 at position 35. ColdFusion
was looking at the following text:

 "

 Invalid expression format. The usual cause is an error in the
expression structure.

Does anyone know how to get around this?

Thanks.

Melissa
