CFMail in script with ColdFusion 9

cfmail is script is easy but as the docs are still a bit lacking and there is no mention of the attributes for using mail in script I had a look in the CF9 install directory and in

/opt/ColdFusion9/CustomTags/com/adobe/coldfusion

You will find the cfc's Adobe made to extend script support. I opened up the mail.cfc and worked out how to use the function. Here is a small example.

<br /> <cfscript><br /> to = "you@gmail.com";<br /> from = "me@gmail.com";<br /> subject = "Report";<br /> body = "Here is the report you were after";<br /> new mail(to=to, from=from, subject=subject, body=body).send();<br /> </cfscript><br />

Of course to, from, subject etc can be strings they don't have to be variables.
