Parsing code from a database table

Question

Hi,
How do I output / parse / evaluate HTML and CF code stored in
a database table? For example, I have the following query which
retrieves some HTML and CF code:
<cfquery datasource="MyDatasource" name="GetEmailCode">
select Mail_Content
from Message_Table
</cfquery>
<cfset Subject = "Test email subject...">
<cfset Message="Test email body message....">
Then I have:
<cfoutput query="GetEmailCode">
E-mail message:<br>
#Trim(Mail_Content)#
</cfoutput>
The actual content of #Trim(Mail_Content)# is:
<TABLE WIDTH="750" BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="0"
CELLSPACING="0" ALIGN="center">
<TR>
<TD ALIGN="center">
<TABLE WIDTH="100%" BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="5"
CELLSPACING="0">
<TR>
<TD ALIGN="left" BGCOLOR="tan">
<B>#Trim(Subject)#</B>
</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD ALIGN="left" BGCOLOR="aliceblue">
#Trim(Message)#
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
But the output of GetEmailCode displays #Trim(Subject)# and
#Trim(Message)# as is. In other words, it's not outputing the
actual value of Subject and Message which are "Test email
subject..." and "Test email body message...."
How do I output and parse the code correctly? I've tried the
following, but it gives me an error:
<cfoutput query="GetEmailCode">
E-mail message:<br>
#Trim(Evaluate(Mail_Content))#
</cfoutput>
Any help/suggestiong is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!!!

I was looking for something like this last week, thanks for
posting your own answer instead of just saying "nevermind, I
figured it out" and leaving all to wonder what the solution
