spam crawlers, if its NOT available in the source there is NO way via
HTTP you can view Coldfusion variables. (without some form of hack)
This would be a MASSIVE security hole.
Thanks.

I don't exactly know, but the harvesters are getting smarter and
smarter. I did a test page with a standard CFMAIL on it, using a new
email address I set up for just the test, and I got my first 10 SPAM
email at that address less than 24 hours later.
Believe me, they ARE parsing CFMAIL tags and acquiring the addresses.
Will try another test setting the address in the application file and
see what happens.
