Actually, you don't need them in the second situation either. I use
the following code all the time.
(trim(evaluate("form.email_" & i))

Hi Michael,
#'s are only needed in three situations: a) within a
<cfoutput></cfoutput> to evaluate the value of a variable and b) within
a function when you are combining a string with a var ie:
(trim(evaluate("form.email_#i#")) and c) within a custom tag ie: <cfmail
to="#form.email#"..>
Maybe?
