Here's some java code that does exactly what I want to do.
http://www.rgagnon.com/javadetails/java-0458.html
However, I want to run this code in a .cfm file on my coldfusion server:
I'm clueless how to put this java code into a cfscript tag with the right
syntax.
Any pointers or tips to help me get started would be very much appreciated.

Here's one line in particular I'm not sure how to code:
Session mailSession = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);

The first few lines, I think I can code something like this:
<cffile action="read" file="#ExpandPath('email.eml')#/" variable="test">
<cfobject type="java" name="props" class="java.util.Properties"
action="create">
<cfset temp = props.put("mail.host", "smtp.test.com")>
<cfset temp2 = props.put("mail.transport.protocol", "smtp")>

Reading the docs might help:

If you just google "Java [name of class]", you'll generally get the docs
for the class in question within the first couple of matches.
