that was the "doing in manually" option that i was to fall back on, it is
what i've done in perl before. i will just have to experiment to make sure
<cfmail> actually lets me set a MIME separator header.
haven't tried it yet, i have other more pressing tasks, but if/when i get
it going i'll post it to thelist as my first ever (woohoo!) cf tip
:) always a momentous occasion.
