Formating a Form Email

I have set up a form which will email any suggestions for the current website to me. I have it so that it emails me but there is no format to the email. Is there anyway that I can format the appearance of this email using maybe /n for new line and stuff like that. The form is a HTML form and I would like to stay with HTML for now. I am currently trying to learn .asp and more about js so this form is really just a temporary form. I just would like it set up so the email attachment (.ATT ---- no idea what format that is) is easier to read.

Thanks

Russ,

I can not give you the answer you are looking for hopefully someone else can.

But, if you have access to the cgi-bin on your web server you can download formmail.pl. A very popular FREE perl script (easy to set up too!)that will format the email just the way you want. The only change to your page is the form action="" you direct it to the file in the cgi-bin rather than setting it as a mailto:. Even better no more pop up box that warns your user that this form is being submitted via email. Big Plus!

Find the script at:
