coldfusion - How do I force evaluation of a cfif stored in a string? -

i trying store coldfusion code in database used subject of cfmail. code stored follows:

"re: <cfif mydata.general.legalname neq """">  {{dotlegalname}}<cfelse>{{docketlegalname}}</cfif>,     dot## {{dot}}, docket ##(s)   {{docketstring}}"  

when retrieve string database, use cfsavecontent attempt evaluate it.

<cfsavecontent variable="subject">  <cfoutput>#mydata.email.subject#</cfoutput> </cfsavecontent> 

i tried

<cfsavecontent variable="subject">      <cfoutput>#evaluate(mydata.email.subject)#</cfoutput> </cfsavecontent> 

and replace {{ }} appropriate values.

however, subject of email stubbornly refusing contain evaluated cfif, , instead showing cfif if string.

any ideas?

the way dynamically evaluate code creating @ runtime via writing out file, , executing it.

the easiest way write .cfm page in virtual file system (probably name file after uuid, it's unique), , need run contents.

i wouldn't advocate generating code @ runtime this, can elegant solution in cases.

as alternative, instead of storing cfml code in database, have set of cfml email template files stored in directory on server, , in database record template needs included either via cfinclude or cfmodule.
