I'm working on a page which collects information entered on a form
by a user and sends it via email to a specified email address. I
want to add a field to allow the user to upload one file, I want
the file to be sent as an attachment with the email.
This will be happening on a Cold Fusion MX (v6.1) server running
IIS on a Win2K Server platform. I'm testing on CFMX 6.1 running
Apache2, also Win2K Server. The host has announced an intention
to upgrade to CFMX 7 but funding issues, yada. It could be a while.
Anyway, during testing the file uploads to the server but then
the script throws an error on the cfmailparam tag (line 24).
According to livedocs, cfmailparam wants a real file name but I
want to preserve the existing file name as a variable and use
that original file name as the attached file name. My attempts
to do so have all failed, so far. What am I doing wrong?
The relevant CF script, below. I had some help getting this far,
the guy who helped has no clue at this point either.

This is the processing script, when it completes it redirects to a
"thank you" page. I munged the path statements on lines 2 and 24,
also the email addresses on lines 9 and 10, for this email.
1. <cfif isDefined('mailAttachment') and Trim(mailAttachment) is not "">
</cfif>
2. <cffile destination ="[path]\contact\attachments\"
