I guess I should have revealed more. ;)
Like most solutions out there that "modularized" the look and feel of a
website, there are two CFINCLUDEs to every template that takes care of
encapsulating a script's logic (shielding the "programmer" from the look
and feel stuff). CFINCLUDE are typically chosen over CFMODULE due to the
lower overhead (since you will be needing the look and feel for almost
all pages).
Now, I want to perform "Send this page to a friend" kinda thing. The
simplest thing to do is to:
[cfmail ... Blah ...]
[cfinclude template="top.cfm"]
.. Do other stuff here ..
[cfinclude template="bottom.cfm"]
[/cfmail]
I am not even sure if this works. :) Then, to complicate things, due to
certain requirements that email addresses should be checked for format
correctness (abiding RFC rules), the CFMAIL call is encapsulated within
a custom tag that performs email address syntax/format validation.
Hence, something crude like this happens:
[cf_MySendMail ... Blah ...][cfoutput]
[cfinclude template="top.cfm"]
.. Do other stuff here ..
[cfinclude template="bottom.cfm"]
[/cfoutput][/cf_MySendMail]
The CFOUTPUT is there to mimic CFMAIL's # behaviors. At the execution of
[/cf_MySendMail], ThisTag.GeneratedContent is used as the content of
CFMAIL. It is also set to empty string AFTER the call to CFMAIL (a la
CFSILENT).
Hence, my dilemma. I do not wish to use CFHTTP as suggested by Bill
Cravens. It is not a scalable solution on a high visibility and high
traffic site. And of course, I have tried CFSAVECONTENT with the two
cfincludes in it but still no go.
Furthermore, modifying the cfincluded template is not an option as it
throws my assigned task out of scope (for now).
If there is no way to do this, then, so be it. I want to know. :)
I hope this clears things up. :)
Thanks.

Are you sure? I ran the exact same code and it ran just fine. Are you
saying that cfsavecontent is being ignored and the output is showing up
anyway?
