Steve,
I could be wrong, but....
This sounds to me like a MIME type problem either with your cfmail tag
implementation, or with your recipient's email client.
Try setting the type attribute in your cfmail tag to html and sending the
same message to see what happens. Although this shouldn't really be
happening if it's an HTML textarea being used for filling the message body.
Regards,
Dave
