You are better off just using the {{ variable name }} idea. While its more work for the developer and more limiting for the user its a much safer solution.

When your HTMLBody variable is created, save its contents to a file (eg:
mail.inc) with the cfmail tag wrapped around it. I am guessing the
HTMLBody variable is statically dynamic ie can be changed but probably
isn't changed all that much. You will then end up with the following:
mailit.cfm:
<cfset var campaign = GetCampaign() />
<cfinclude template="mail.inc">
mail.inc
<cfmail query="recipients"
to="#recipients.email#"
from="#Campaign.GetEmailFrom()# (#Campaign.GetEmailFromAlias()#)"
subject="Campaign ## #campaign.GetCampaignID()#"
failto="#Campaign.GetEmailFailTo()#"
mailerid="Summit Projects, Inc. "
type="HTML">
#Email#
#FirstName# #LastName#
#CompanyName#
#AddressLine1#
etc
</cfmail>
NB: The cfmail (or cfoutput, etc) tags are required to force CF to
process the variables. Just including a file of #<somevar># variables
will not work.
Your question prompted me to abandon my broken CF 6 media and download,
install and configure CF7, so no beers necessary if this solution helps :-)
