One key thing to remember is: "KEEP IT SIMPLE!"
Set up the following:
1. A form on your master page .
<form action="sendmail.cfm">
<input type="submit">
</form>
2. A new page called sendmail.cfm with nothing but the query /
cfmail tag.

Subject: Re: Newbie question on mailto tag with variables (easy)
Thanks Gary, Ken,
However, I'm more shooting for an "on click" event I guess.
This isn't working, my page is erroring from nested tags or the lack of
a datasource.
<cfquery name="sendmail" datasource="clientsdatasource">
SELECT Product.Description, Product.Model
FROM Product
</cfquery>
<img src="images/interestproduct.gif" width="209" height="82"
border="0" /><cfmail to="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" query="sendmail"
from="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" subject="Client website: Interest in
#desciption# - #model#"></cfmail>
The CF mail is "processing" in the page, which I know is normal,
however, if the tag was in a JS "onclick" to then fire the query/mail
to, then I might be figuring this out.
Thanks everyone. sorry for the ignorance.
Mark
