Folks,

Wondering if anyone can help me.

I have a form set up on a webpage that, when sent, is emailed to a large distribution list.

Everything works fine. The problem I am having is the formate of the email... It looks like this.

Field One=Answerone
Field Two=Answertwo
Field Three=Answerthree

Is there anyway to dress up the email so its a little more asthetically pleasing?? Perhaps underline the field names, or get more than one field to appear per line.

Any suggestions woule be appreciated.

Thanks,
 
The program that is processing the form server side is formatting the form this way. You'll have to look there to see if there are other .cgi's etc.. available with different formats I may not get it the 1st or 2nd time,
but how sweet that 15th time can be.
 
Thanks...

Is there anything I can install on my side (the server my page is on) that will "fool" the mail server to formate the email differently???

Much appreciated.

 
not that I know of. even if you change the formating when the form fields go through the mailto program they will be processed to it's spec's. look in your hosting sites library to se if they have other mailto's that are a little better formatted. I may not get it the 1st or 2nd time,
but how sweet that 15th time can be.
