Except that the overhead for something like this is fairly substantial and
there are problems with CFFile under Win2K and under Windows in general.

I think that what you need to do is re-evaluate what you are storing in the
database.  Why not just store the data and then dynamically build a cfmail
statement from the data. CF is great at doing this sort of evaluation.
