typically that error is invalid parameters, i think, and might be related to the @query paremeter

since you didn't provide any details or sample code, lets start at the top:

does sp_send_dbmail work sometimes, but not in this case? did you make sure to install the 3.5 .net framework, since it is required?

does your query assume running in the master database, and you did three part names for the query like execute [CustomerDB].dbo.[GetInvoices]?

Are you using a default profile? was it made public?

here's a code example i was hoping to see your equivalent of it.

declare @body1 varchar(4000)
set @body1 = 'Sample Email from SQL2008 ' + CONVERT( VARCHAR( 20 ), GETDATE(), 113 ) + 
' '

EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail 
    @profile_name='stormrage as scripts',
    @recipients='lowell@fake.net',
    @subject = 'SQl 2008 email test',
    @body = @body1,
    @body_format = 'HTML',
    @query = 'SELECT top 3 * from DBA_Utilities.sysobjects where xtype=''U''',
    @query_result_header = 0,
    @exclude_query_output = 1,
    @append_query_error = 1,
    @attach_query_result_as_file = 1,
    @query_attachment_filename = 'qry.txt',
    @query_result_no_padding = 1

--in body of html:
declare @body1 varchar(4000)
set @body1 = 'Sample Email from SQL2008 ' + CONVERT( VARCHAR( 20 ), GETDATE(), 113 ) + 
'<BR>'

EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail 
    @profile_name='stormrage as scripts',
    @recipients='fake.net',
    @subject = 'SQl 2008 email test',
    @body = @body1,
    @body_format = 'HTML',
    @query = 'SELECT name AS [<BR>name],type_desc,create_date,''<BR>'' As [Filler<BR>] from DBA.sys.objects where type=''U''',
    @query_result_header = 1,
    @exclude_query_output = 1,
    @append_query_error = 1,
    @attach_query_result_as_file = 0,
    @query_result_no_padding = 0
