Here is part of the code I use to create emails that are sent out monthly.
I have removed a lot of code, queries and more of the msg being build, but
this should give you an idea.
By no means is this the best example .
But it does work:
<CFOUTPUT query="Qgetteaminfo" group="team">
-----------------Part of the msg being
build---------------------------------------------------------
<CFSET msg ="For Team Members with Fewer than #holdmaxhours# logged
for period. #chr(13)##chr(10)# #chr(13)##chr(10)#">
<CFSET msg = msg & "Team: #Qgetteaminfo.team#">
<CFOUTPUT>
<CFSET msg = msg & "Team Member:
#Qgetteaminfo.memberName#">
</CFOUTPUT>
--------Adds to msg-------------------------
<CFIF noaction EQ "true">
<CFSET msg = msg &"All Personnel on your team have
logged the required minimum hours for the reporting
period.#chr(13)##chr(10)#">
</CFIF>
</CFOUTPUT>
CFMAIL here -----<BR>
<cfmail to="emial1" from="fromemail" subject="Logged Hours for Month of:
#mon#" >
The listed below individuals have logged the indicated hours
to I3MP for the Month of: #mon# #dyear#.
Please confirm accuracy and provide response NLT 10 days
from receipt.
Negative response indicates agreement with the hours
reported in this email.
DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL.
#msg#
</cfmail>
