Question

I know little to nothing about coldfusion. I need to create a form. The info the user enters needs to be encrypted or secure somehow, and this info will be emailed to it's destination. Is this even possible?

    If your CF server is using a mail server that supports SSL or TLS, the data is already encrypted in transport.  If you need to encrypt the data before it becomes the body of the email and then decrypt said body, that's going to be a bit beyond what I can tell you.  I think it's possible, but it's a lot of work, and you should weigh the effort against the need before starting such a project.

    HTH,
